Motherboard Shipments Drop by Ten Million Units in 2022

Having each year a new product by Design/socket/performance/ect.. An "created" need and  an not sustainable growth each year ends up in a fall sooner or later... Do you think that the prices will go down in general? Or will we see a slow down in the update cycles? 🤔

I think it going to stagnate pretty fast. And price will increase. I wish am wrong but am afraid. 🙃

Well I certainly am not buying $700+ motherboards. I already scoffed at the $440 I spent for this (or whatever it was). Motherboards have gotten stupid expensive these days too along with everything else, not surprised they are down in sales.

Depends on supply. If they end up with a large supply of unsold motherboards and demand is low, then prices should drop. But given how things have gone with GPUs lately, its hard to say for sure that that's what will happen.

Apart from more general economic uncertainties affecting demand, I think Intel and AMD may have fallen into their own trap. Pricing definitely plays a role also, especially with the X670E compared to X570/S whereby folks typically have to upgrade to / their DDR5 as well on top of that. Hardware unboxed recently had a nice summary showing that while Intel's 13th gen was outselling Ryzen 7/ AM5 by a bit, Ryzen AM4 was still moving more stock than either.

 

I am still enjoying the Asus Dark Hero / 5950X to the fullest for productivity, and at 4K (where I game exclusively), CPU makes less of a difference, never mind that the 5950X at > 5.1 GHz is no slouch. Then there is the 'GPU factor': My 4090 with its DLSS3/FI/NVReflex transformed the 5950X even in its mots demanding game environments, so for me at least, the 7950X3D upgrade has moved further out courtesy of RTX4K. It will still happen, but no rush - the 5950X/4090 combo already provides more than I need and I can wait for plenty of user feedback about the 7950X3D, Windows scheduler, white lists etc.
