So what would game developers running an online game be able to do with that?

They favor it's presence during online match making, if you have the chip, you get matched against other players who also have it. Players without it would not be able to access the same servers. The amount of technical expertise to fake the chip and the layer of security it provides will drastically impact unskilled hackers ability to produce cheats.

How does a security chip in an end user's PC work as an anti-cheat? There's not much a person could do to a game server just by spoofing hardware specifications. Generally they need to run some sort of software which hooks into the game's process to change the data being sent to the server. The security protocol of that data being sent should not influence how the server interprets it. It's really just the game connecting to the server. A security chip in the CPU is added to protect the user's data, not to restrict their behaviour.
