Seems to approximatively match generic deployment numbers :

[...] I guess there is still an
option of trying to do PGO on 64-bit builds only (which apparently is
definitely not possible for VS2010 and earlier) and letting more
users pick up those benefits over time. But that's not very
compelling.

The start of the discussion is that PGO for 32-bit builds will be really hard to maintain soon. If doing 64-bit PGO builds is costly and impairs the ability to deliver efficient 32-bits non-PGO builds then it's not compelling.

But if that's not the case, at least it's around 33% of users that would keep the PGO advantage, and more newer PC get sold (I just checked that even a $370 Dell Inspiron is today sold with Windows 8 64 bits).

On W3Schools, XP usage is significantly going down :
