6-core and 8-core CPUs are surging in popularity, going by Steam data – TechRadar
Quad-core processors remain dominant – for the time being
8-core and 6-core (hexacore) processors are rapidly becoming much more popular these days, according to fresh data compiled from past Steam hardware surveys.
The historical graphs shared on Twitter (spotted by Toms Hardware) show that both these types of multi-core CPUs are being bought in much greater quantities as of 2021, and indeed 8-core processors are about to surpass dual-core models, with 6-core chips not too far off the market share of quad-core CPUs.
