Business laptops sporting AMD Ryzen Pro CPUs have always been hard to come by and even when they appear, most are of the budget variety. The new Zen 2 Ryzen PRO 4000U series is looking to change that by offering much faster performance than before on higher-end laptop models.

The latest hardware and software survey from Steam has detailed a good month for AMD in terms of overall processor usage and % change.

AMD disrupts Nvidia stranglehold in Steam's April hardware survey thanks to an uptake for the Radeon RX 5700 XT and an appearance by the Radeon R7 M445 laptop GPU

Steam has released its hardware and software survey for April 2020.
