I think you're only seeing a small part of the smaller scale HPC market, probably the deep learning or computational chemistry?

If you go ask people working on car aerodynamics or geophysics or reservoir modelling for the oil industry, they're mostly all CPU cluster users still.

It's not even right for computational chemistry, let alone all the other things you run on a typical university system, say. (I don't see why the size of the system is relevant, and obviously some GPU capacity may be sensible.)
