>This doesn't show what you think it does. The majority of desktop gaming PCs are self built and won't show up in that statistic.

It probably does. I never paid for the report but I assume IDC collects data on DIY desktop towers and make an educated guess.

Regardless, gaming laptops sells far more than DIY computers.

In 2020 Nvidia + AMD sold 41.5 million desktop GPUs.[1] That doesn't add up at all with 16.7 million desktop PCs.

Discrete GPUs can go into old desktop PCs. That's my guess.

And it's not clear what % of them were used for gaming vs crypto mining.
