GPU Market Trends - RTX 5070 Maintains Top Spot, but Interest Expands to Higher-End GPUs

In May, models equipped with the RTX 5070 continued to attract attention.

In the GPU browsing trends for May 2026, the 'RTX 5070' maintained the top spot with 21.8%. However, the concentration of share eased slightly compared to the previous month, with the 2nd place 'RTX 5070 Ti' rising to 15.7% and the 3rd place 'RX 9070 XT' reaching 13.1%. Additionally, the 'RTX 5080' increased its presence to 11.9%, indicating that May was a month where the scope of comparison widened to higher-performance tiers, rather than attention being concentrated on a single popular GPU.

The fact that four of the top five models are NVIDIA GPUs shows that the market center remains with the GeForce series. On the other hand, the 'RX 9070 XT' from the Radeon series maintained a solid ranking, suggesting it continues to attract a certain level of interest as a high-end option.

CPU Market Trends - X3D Series CPUs Lead the Top, Gaming Performance Focus Becomes Clear Again

For CPUs, the 'Ryzen 7 9800X3D' took the top spot with 23.2%, attracting high attention in May as well. Furthermore, the 'Ryzen 7 7800X3D' came in 2nd place, resulting in X3D series CPUs occupying the top two positions. The 'Ryzen 7 7700', which showed a strong presence in April, dropped to 5th place.

Also, the 3rd place 'Ryzen 7 9700X' and 4th place 'Ryzen 7 5700X' remained in the top ranks, a characteristic feature being that a wide range of options, from the latest generation to cost-effective standard CPUs, are being compared. In May, as the component prices for the top X3D series dropped, a reversal phenomenon occurred where the higher-end models were cheaper than the lower-end models. It is reasonable to see this as a direct reflection of that situation.

By configuration, 'RTX 5070 Ti x Ryzen 7 9800X3D' took the top spot with 10.1%. It was followed by 'RX 9070 XT x Ryzen 7 9800X3D' in 2nd place and 'RTX 5070 x Ryzen 7 7800X3D' in 3rd place, meaning all top three configurations in May were X3D series combinations.

Furthermore, the 5th place entry of 'RTX 5080 x Core Ultra 9 285K' is noteworthy, as it shows that the comparison targets for high-end configurations are not limited to AMD systems but are expanding to include Intel's ultra-high-performance configurations.

Price Range Market Trends - 200,000 Yen Bracket Maintains Lead, but 300,000 Yen Bracket Grows Significantly

By price range, the '200,000 yen bracket' maintained the top spot with 33.1%, but its share decreased from the previous month. On the other hand, the '300,000 yen bracket' rose to 32.5%, approaching the level of the 200,000 yen bracket in terms of interest. Additionally, '500,000 yen and above' also rose to 11.5%, indicating that May was a month where the overall center of gravity of price ranges shifted slightly upward.

Considering that the shares of both the 100,000 yen and 200,000 yen brackets decreased, it suggests that if the cost-performance of the high-class range is good, users might be willing to consider increasing their budget.
