Thought that was interesting. I did not expect Intel to dominate the CPU only.

I expected AMD GPU to be low, but not that low. Yeah, this is intriguing.

This is the actual HF page about it, for those averse to Xitter: https://huggingface.co/datasets/clem/100_most_popular_hardware_setups_on_HF

It's worth noting that this is for overall users, not just trainers:

It was compiled on Thursday, April 30, 2026 from 297,135 users who voluntarily shared the hardware they use to run AI models locally

At a guess, all of those "Intel CPU Only" users are just using the PC or laptop they'd already bought for general use, and Intel is still the most popular choice of CPU for regular builds.

The paucity of AMD GPU users makes me all the more grateful for Unsloth, llama.cpp, and other projects which support AMD anyway.
