I think you can see that I didn't ignore this fact in my post.
I made a definition (as requested) to clarify my position and based on my interpretation of the original post in this thread. Based on this interpretation, it seemed like that poster was referring broadly to PCs. The definition was for the purposes of a prediction.
In defense of my interpretation, I would consider it unreasonable to assume that the OP meant to include smart phones in their consideration of "primary consumer CPU", due precisely to the fact that you and I have both mentioned, that many individuals use a smart phone for the bulk or even all of their computing.
