With more than 200 million users, the video game platform on PC Steam is a good way to take the pulse of the industry. The latest published figures show that AMD has exceeded for the first time the symbolic bar of 40% of users, in a very high increase for a year (+17 points).
Previously, Intel is paying his mistakes during the last ten years, and not only in artificial intelligence where the US company is almost absent. In video games, very high prices and backward performances against a more combative AMD in these two aspects continue to change their efforts.
AMD soon on servers?
AMD’s latest financial results are there to demonstrate this good health: processors billing increased $ 2.1 billion to $ 3.6 billion in a year. In the “game” part (which does not include processors), we also notice the success of graphics cards and consoles chips such as PlayStation 5 or Steam Deck, from $ 600 million to $ 1.1 billion.
For its part, Intel continues to shoot. The company announced in July another restructuring plan with the aim of separating 24,000 people. In total, since the beginning of 2025, 75,000 employees have been thanked within the company.
The former technological giant, who saw his former boss landed at the end of 2024, seeks to recover and remarkably signed with TSMC to make some of his chips. Unable to reach the engraving levels of his Taiwan competitor, he had to resign himself to make this decision that could be heavy in the future of his factories in the United States.
Intel has also announced to abandon his “super users” projects in Germany and Poland. Before relaunching, Lip-bu Tan, the new head of the Santa Clara company, wishes to ensure as many orders as possible.
In the server category, AMD could also exceed Intel already in 2026 according to digitized economic media. In 2017, the company directed by Lisa had only a market share of 1%, compared to more than 40% in 2025.
