AMD's market share among Steam players dropped after Sep 2017

AMD's market share (both CPU and GPU) dropped after September 2017. Not sure whether the release of Intel's Coffee Lake played a part in it.

At least the first generation of Ryzen didn't attract many enough Steam players. Hopefully Ryzen 2 will turn the tide.

Steam Hardware & Software Survey:

PUBG.

You'll notice as people (mainly chinese gamers) stop playing the game it will return back to normal.

How does that translate? Most cheaters who keep getting their accounts banned by running aiming-bots (hence submitting duplicated hardware survey records with new accounts) are running Intel quad core CPUs?

Nice constructive comment there - people with nice hardware often like to show it off.

Agreed We need more AMD users like this to participate in the survey and un-skew the results

Who said they are cheaters just because they are Chinese?

I'm not sure about here, but I've watched many Chinese streamers playing PUBG. That ecosystem is in constant ban - new account - ban - new account cycles, because the game is simply unplayable without aiming-bot. Even the top streamer had to cheat, which ultimately resulted him being banned from all Chinese streaming platforms by the government.

When you talk about skewed statistics, the first thing that comes up in my mind would be the massive number of new accounts.
