It's going to be ~1:1 with the number of discrete nvidia + AMD graphics cards sold which is not exactly niche.

Further, Intel already has a range of chips in production making that 100's of millions per chip vastly overblown. You can measure these numbers in several ways, but ramping up 100 million of chip X or 80 million of chip X and 20 million of chip version Y is nowhere near 200+ million.

Ed: For clarity the cost delta is not 200+ million, the price is vastly more than 200+ million to make 100 million of chip X.
