You're forgetting business, that thanks to those iGPs can buy cheaper PCs without graphics cards, and people that don't game on their PCs and don't need a proper/powerful GPU.

Gamers aren't the only ones that buy PCs.

Ah yeah, thats true. Thats the enthusiast inside me talking rambling lol.

It happens to all of us.

Another possible use of those IGPs could be to make a Retro PC. For example you could build a machine to play win95-to-XP games, something that newer Windows can't do without lots of troubles, using something like an A10-7860K APU thanks to a powerful enough IGP (512 shaders @ 757MHz) that should be able to run most if not all those old games.

That APU plus a micro-ATX, 4 GB of DDR3, a regular 500GB HDD, case, PSU and a WinXP license (probably the hardest thing to find), and you can have a retro PC for less than a Vega 56/GTX 1070 cost.
