AMD CPUs Hit Another Steam Survey Record, Gap with Intel Narrows to All-Time Low

AMD's share of CPUs in Steam's hardware survey hit a record high of roughly 45%, narrowing the gap with Intel to under 10%. The gain comes as Intel's Core Ultra 200 Plus launch failed to reverse its market share decline.

X3D processors drive sales momentum

AMD's X3D processors, such as the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and the upcoming Ryzen 7 7700X3D, continue to drive sales among gamers. The company announced it will re-release the Ryzen 7 5800X3D for the AM4 platform and launch the new Ryzen 7 7700X3D for AM5 on July 16.

AMD's X3D CPUs offer excellent gaming performance, according to TechSpot. This has helped sustain AMD's sales momentum in the gaming segment.

AMD has extended AM5 socket support through 2029, giving users a long-term upgrade path. The Ryzen 7 7700X3D will be available globally starting July 16.

The record Steam share and narrowing gap with Intel highlight AMD's continued strength in the PC gaming CPU market. The upcoming X3D launches and extended platform support reinforce AMD's commitment to gamers.
