Based on this data (someone else shared in another thread): https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware – the numbers shared in the link on this post are misleading.
Looks like the sample size has some bias built into it given the data is from those who use their performance software. I would trust the numbers from Firefox much more (higher scale, much more ubiquitous product).

- Shorel 5y agoI don't think they are misleading. They just show different things. Firefox shows total CPUs being used. By new and potentially very old computers. My own desktop CPU was made in 2012. Cpubenchmark.net shows new machines being built or bought. So, think of the latter (this month sales) as the rate of change for the first (total CPUs being used). I see no reason at all to benchmark an old computer, just new ones. Therefore, if current trends keep, Firefox reported AMD market share will grow. If.
