>Nvidia may be the giant yet if you look at what most gamers actually run on, they run on Apple APUs, Snapdragon APUs, and AMD APUs.

Wat

This is like extremely incorrect.

Its Nvidia.

Yikes, your technoblabble at the start seemed like smart people talk but the meat and potatoes is off base.




Is it incorrect though? Mobile alone is 85B of the 165B market [1], not to mention that Nintendo's Switch is basically an android tablet with a mobile chipset.

To be fair, an Nvidia mobile chipset.

Also, much of mobile gaming isn't exactly pushing the envelope of graphics, especially by revenue.


Yes, we arent using mobile gaming as an indicator of GPU growth/performance.

This seems like some way to be like 'Well tecknicaklly', to justify some absurd argument that doesnt matter to anyone.


>Yes, we arent using mobile gaming as an indicator of GPU growth/performance.

Who's "we" because big tech has absolutely been touting GPU gains in their products for a long time now [1], driven by gaming. Top of the line iPhones can do raytracing now, and are getting AAA ports like Resident Evil.

In what world is being over half of a 185B industry a technicality?. A lot of these advancements on mobile end up trickling up to their laptop/desktop counterparts (See Apple's M-series), which matters to non-mobile gamers as well. Advancements that wouldn't have happened if the money wasn't there.
