Team Red reaches a record high
In a nutshell:December’s Steam survey results have arrived.
The most obvious takeaway from December?
2024 really was AMD’s year at least when it came to CPUs.
Starting with the processors category, December saw AMD reach another record-high share among participants ofValve’s survey.
The instabilityissuesin Intel’s 13th- and 14th-generation processors have also impacted its sales of the older chips.
Somewhat surprisingly, the ancient GTX 1650 saw the fourth-highest gains.
AMD’s best-performing desktop card of the month was the Radeon RX 6600 in 27th place.
The RTX 3060 continues to be the most popular card among participants.
Elsewhere, Windows 11 is now comfortably the most popular OS in the survey.
With the older Windows version’s end-of-support date ten months away, expect this trend to continue.
1440p is the second most popular at 19.5%.
Finally, most people still have more than 1TB of drive space, but only 100GB to 249GB free.
