Steam shares hardware and software survey data once a month, tracing the player's PC configuration.
From August 2017 onwards, the data presented some anomalous situations. Mainly a significant increase in the number of GTX 1060/4 core CPU/Win7 users After collecting and analyzing, we found that this trend is almost consistent with that of Simplified Chinese users.
Originally, as 'Chicken Eating' became popular in China, a large number of cybercafe players began to pour into Steam's statistical sample. However, due to diskless deployment and IP address changes in Internet cafes, there were repeated counting beyond the database's preset algorithm. It is a machine that has been counted many times.
After months of research and repair by Valve engineers, April statistics released on May 2 are finally fully revised , that is to say, the results of the survey after April can represent the more real situation.
In this statistic, The most noticeable is the substantial increase in the share of AMD CPU, which reached 15.96%, while Intel dropped to 84% from 91% in December last year..
The quad-core CPU was revised to 62%, no longer an exaggerated 74%.
Operating system, Win10 64-bit users accounted for 53%, Win7 64-bit users were corrected by 20%, in fact, only 36%.
In terms of memory, due to the continuous price increase for one year, the storage capacity of 12GB or more was significantly reduced, and even 8GB also dropped. 4G increased by 3.16%.
However, the graphics card, NV alone significant / AMD alone significant / Intel nuclear ratio is roughly 7: 2: 1Among them, GTX 1060 is still the first single card occupancy, GTX 1070 users increased by 1%, AMD here is the highest number of users Radeon R7, RX 480 only 0.62%.
