I find that difficult to believe, unless they did something weird like to lump smartphones into mobility.
I thought ARM represented like ~5% of server install base, and maybe like 10% of 2022 server sales. Similarly, I understood Chromebooks + Macbooks (the two major laptop ARM products) to be on the order of 25% of laptop sales.
These are both real and meaningful chunks of market, but I don't think they're enough to make up for the discrepancy in numbers. Perhaps they are including game consoles.

[Edit] - found reporting on 2021 numbers they clearly seem to indicate that the first three sets of numbers are x86 only (https://venturebeat.com/consumer/mercury-research-amd-closes...)
The two big extra categories would seem to be game consoles (as suggested by GP), and IoT.
