The market for assembled personal computers (PCs) is showing a downward trend, as component prices have risen in recent times.
the latest data from German retailer Mindfactory for the 13th week of 2026 recorded Central Processing Unit (CPU) sales at an all-time low.
The rising prices of components such as CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and storage memory are said to be the main factors causing consumers to delay buying or upgrading their PCs.
This situation has prompted many users to be more cautious and choose to wait for prices to stabilize again.
Amidst sluggish CPU sales, AMD still dominates with a share of around 89 percent, far surpassing Intel which only recorded a little over 10 percent.
