The big win that discrete GPUs provide to the cloud/backend marketplace (that Intel sorta plays in via Xeon Phi) is from large banks of VERY fast memory coupled with fast-clocked vector processors. But without a bunch of HBM or something similar, the discrete GPU won't be able to do training at the scale that NVIDIA and AMD do.
