https://www.statista.com/statistics/265034/proportion-of-used-computers-on-the-online-gaming-platform-steam-by-system-ram/

System random-access memory (RAM) share among Steam users as of June 2025

Memory Percent of users
8 GB 8.95%
16 GB 43.05%
32 GB 34.37%
Other 13.63%

That being said, I don't know if one could say that a machine that has run Steam is necessarily "modern" or a "gaming machine". But I don't know what better statistic you'd get.
