Steam Deck is probably responsible for this.
Yup, 40% of that AMD share is the Steam Deck.
It means that the number of Linux users have almost doubled thanks to the Deck.
@ghariksforge @Gecko No one supports Win 10/11 telemetry and updates. And also, there are a huge rejection to win 11 from 10 users.
Intel dropped the ball completely, and it will take years to catch up, if they ever do again. Could be a very long time.
If you believe they will become market leader again, buy stocks now. They are dirt cheap and could double or triple the money in maybe 3 to 5 years if they somehow come back from this.
I think it’s weird how intel ‘dropping the ball’ still resulted in them just barely beating out AMD or hardly falling behind.
Part of me truly believes intel purposefully held back their product line so they could milk it for as long as possible; that they’re just putting out enough to stay competitive with AMD but nothing more.
But they are not conpetetive with amd at all anymore. I don’t think there is any reason to buy Intel.
That has me worried. Intel was what kept AMD honest. With AMD in the lead, there will be no real alternative to AMD
ifwhen AMD turns evil, since Intel does not take security seriously (the Intel Management Engine is insecure by design).
This article is kinda misleading. Nearly 40% of Linux devices is the Steam Deck which is AMD only. Subtracting the Steam Deck AMD usage on Linux more or less matches that on Windows.
See the Steam hardware survey for the numbers that this blog spam article is reporting on: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=linux
Yeah, there really isn’t any reason to go with one processor brand over the other. Since drivers and such aren’t a concern (like with GPUs) most people just pick whichever one has the most price-effective offering in the spec range they’re looking for.
I think you are half right. For the most part it’s price effectiveness in the spec range, but there are other considerations such as battery draw with laptops, or iGPU if you’re not running or looking for a video card. For the same price, looking into the performance or efficiency related to the type of programs you are using is still worthwhile.
The Steam Deck and all the handhelds that came after helped this. Got to love competition and innovation.
