"To put it in perspective, lets count all x86 sales: all the desktops, all the laptops, all the servers, all the weird little things like x86 chinese tablets, all of it. Combined Xbox One and PS4 sales (both massive APUs, essentially) dwarf all of the sales both Intel and non-console AMD do; it dwarfs it in per chip and per thread." Ummmm, no... "PC vendors shipped a total of 263 million computers last year, down from 270 million in 2016." https://www.statista.com/chart/12578/global-pc-shipments/ https://www.statista.com/chart/12578/global-pc-shipments/ And that's not counting chips sold to those building their own computers nor does it count servers. The PS4 has sold about 80 million console while the XBox One has sold about 40 million over around 4 years.

Only ~40% [1] of those PC have discrete graphics. ( Updated to 40%, turns out there are 140% GPU shipment compared to PC shipment, 39% of them has dGPU ) But even so the APU used in consoles are very little in numbers compared what Nvidia sold in Cars, CUDA, dGPU, Crypto Mining etc. The AMD numbers already includes APU. Even on an conservative estimate of 300M GPU unit sales and AMD 10% market share, that is 30M unit per year. So the OP was so wrong I am not even sure where to start. ( And to make thing worst HN are upvoting him, talk about fake news problem. ) [1] https://www.jonpeddie.com/press-releases/gpu-market-increased-year-to-year-by-3.4/ https://www.jonpeddie.com/press-releases/gpu-market-increase...
