    I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if they are included in the list. I dunno, I’m not the statistician who crunched the numbers here. I didn’t collect the data, and that source material is not available for me to examine.

    What I can say is that the article defines “discrete” GPUs instead of just “GPUs” to eliminate all the iGPUs. Because Intel dominates that space with AMD, but it’s hard to make an iGPU when you don’t make CPUs, and the two largest CPU manufacturers make their own iGPUs.

    The overall landscape of the GPU market is very different than what this data implies.

      Well, it’s no mystery:

      https://www.jonpeddie.com/news/q225-pc-graphics-add-in-board-shipments-increased-27-0-from-last-quarter/

      It’s specifically desktop addin boards:

      AMD’s RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 represent AMD’s new RDNA 4 architecture, competing with Nvidia’s midrange offerings. Nvidia introduced two new Blackwell-series AIBs: the GeForce RTX 5080 Super and the RTX 5070. The company also announced the RTX 500 workstation AIB. Rumors have persisted about two new AIBs from Intel, including a dual-GPU model.

      It is including workstation cards like the Blackwell Pro. But this is clearly not including server silicon like the B200, H200, MI325X and so on, otherwise they would have mentioned updates. They are not AIBs.

      I hate to obsess over such a distinction, but it’s important: server sales are not skewing this data, and workstation sales volumes are pretty low. It’s probably a accurate chart for gaming GPUs.
