When I look at this page there is somewhere in the middle a statistic showing the CPU distribution, it is titled 'Hosts by CPU brand'.

Now I see:
~7% Intel
~1% AMD
~2% PowerPC

and 90% 'Other'. Now I ask myself what this 'Other' is?

It does not seem to represent the hidden machines, because then I would expect a similar number in the diagram just below with the distribution of OSes.

It does sure not show those VIA or transmeta CPUs.

All the other BOINC projects are somewhere around 50%, only BLURP and E@H have this extreme high number of uncounted/undetected Brands?

*wondering*

What are all these 'Other' CPU's

I would bet that the stats site is based on the old 4.16 and earlier CPU detection code. Since Einstien requires 4.19 there will be very few CPUs from this project that the stats site can interperet properly.

Just because you gave him some hints?

A big Thank you to the maintainers of the statistic site.
