Taiwanese PC Makers are Expecting Improved Sales in the Second Half of 2023
According to Taiwanese United Daily News, Acer and ASUS are expecting the downturn in PC sales to turn around in the second half of the year. That said, Acer reported its worst results in years for the first quarter this year and ASUS is expected to follow suit, when its first quarter earnings numbers are released on Friday this week. The slow sales for both companies are expected to continue for the first half of 2023, but according to the report, there should be an improvement in the second half of the year.
That said, both companies are betting on improved sales of not just PCs to improve their books, as Acer is hoping to sell more displays, while ASUS is focusing on its component business. ASUS has already seen a small improvement in component sales, which the company is hoping is the first signs of a stabilising components market, with more of its potential customers upgrading their systems. That said, with certain components like graphics cards still being priced at levels that many consumers aren't willing to pay for the performance on offer, it might be a slower recovery than these companies are expecting.

However... The standard loaf of Cheap @$$ bread from Wally World in my region is now $1.36 cents. In March 2023 that same loaf of bread was $1.12 In December 2022 that loaf of bread was 99 cents. In January 2022 that same loaf was 88 cents. Things are costing a lot more money now than ever before.
Inflation is still a serous issue and the price if basic needs are still going up. And because of that people have less discretionary income to by things with.
The odds are things are going to get worse before it gets better.
We have now the after effects of several events, but the next hurdle for economies is the actual effect of economies that need to transition to something sustainable, or more sustainable. It'll further ramp up cost. We're all going to pay to fix climate, one way or another - either we ignore the problem and pay through resulting damages, or we don't and pay because sustainable costs more.
75% for the UK
65% for the US
60% for Canada

Where are the AMD ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix when they don't even need dedicated graphics GPU since RDNA 3 can play AAA games and render 3D and videos amply.
This is by far the most insanely overpriced card.
