Desktop CPUs to AIBs over time:
Jon Peddie, president and founder of Jon Peddie Research, noted:
This marks the fourth quarter of increased sales for AIBs, and with the backlog of new games and AI-based applications, it looks like the demand is going to stay fairly high. We are entering a golden age for AIBs, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves and overreact as we did in the past with crypto and Covid.
C. Robert Dow, analyst for Jon Peddie Research, added:
Both Nvidia and AMD released new AIBs in January, and those prices have remained close to the introductory MSRP, which is a good sign for consumers looking to upgrade their systems.
