It only counts the primary rendering device - also in some cases the integrated GPU becomes disabled when a dGPU is detected and/or unless you plug a monitor into it anyhow.

I get them quite often, done maybe 20 of them on my home machine. Never done one on my work machine even though I game on it more though!
cheers, thought so!
Looking at the stats for March 2018, AMD has actually increased its share for people using CPUs on the Windows OS >> http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=pc

The fact that it is optional means it is biased and non-random. Its called selection bias and is a well-known source of bias in surveys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias. Also, any conclusions or generalities apply only to the proportion of steam users that opted-in, it is entirely possible that there are correlations between the hardware and the likelihood that someone will submit data to the survey.

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?
It is possible but usually a large enough random sampling, even optional, will be generally indicative in a case like this. If anything people with higher end and under-dog hardware would be more likely to submit results and people with lower end less likely which the stats don't appear to be significant skewed by.
Total balls.
Nice constructive comment there - people with nice hardware often like to show it off.
Read back your post. It's nothing more than spam.
Why are you so desperate to validate this BTW. I take it Nvidia must have some interest.
LOL the only one coming off as desperate here is you.

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.
The cheating on PUBG is rife and most of the dodgy players I come across have suspiciously Chinese sounding names.
