Yes, apologies! I'm so deep in the AMD/Intel/Nvidia rumor mill I forget how normal humans talk, sometimes. Tech news people tend to use "AIBs" as shorthand for "second-party (add-in) board partners" -- that is, companies that sell graphics cards using AMD or Nvidia GPUs but with their own board and cooler designs. So in the case of Nvidia this would be EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, Zotac, ASUS, etc. But crucially NOT including Nvidia themselves, even though Nvidia sell their own reference design they call the "Founder's Edition".
