According to the "Steam Hardware & Software Survey: March 2017" it appears that most users are using quad cores, with 50.08% with a quad core and 43.84% with a dual core. (I am assuming that when the survey says "CPU" they mean core, because I assume that most users don't have multi-socket and CPU setups.) Although the number of users with dual cores is quite high in my opinion, it isn't all that surprising. What I can't wrap my head around is that somehow they claim that 54.39% of those who took the survey have hyperthreading, this number can be found under "Other Settings (Windows)" at the bottom of the page. That is a higher number than the sum of the percentages of all the CPUs with more than two cores, which comes out at 54.47%. So therefore at least about half a percent of all users have hyperthreaded dual cores, and that is assuming that all triple cores or higher have hyperthreading. Maybe I am wrong and there are actually that many users with hyperthreading dual cores and quad cores, but I somehow feel this number is inaccurate. Is there another meaning of hyperthreading that I am not understanding? Does it merely mean multiple threads according to the survey, but that doesn't make since to me because then it should be about 98%? If anyone could explain what this means I would appreciate the assistance.
Also I am using the numbers from the "PC Physical CPU Details" (only Windows) section for the CPU count information instead of from the graphs, which also for some reason vary slightly, although I assume due to OSX and Linux.
