The analysis in the article (and the PCPartPicker spreadsheet from which they source their data) excludes integrated GPUs. This is a significant difference, because Intel has a 17.48% marketshare on graphics per the Steam Hardware Survey [1] (the original source for the spreadsheet data), while AMD has a 23.46% share -- which includes both their integrated and discrete graphics. The average price of AMD builds has risen because the lowest-end builds on the Intel side can rely on Intel's integrated graphics. Intel integrated GPUs attain one or two percent share of all GPUs for each generation, while AMD APUs are far behind.
