Amazon sold 60% fewer CPUs than a year ago, pointing to a stalled PC refresh cycle

You could probably look at RAM and GPU prices and come to the same conclusion much faster.

Last year we got new models. This year the x3d refresh looks like a joke.

Everyone I know is buying bundles at microcenter anyway if they’re building.

Given the prices, I've been amazed for at least the last 2 years at the number of folks who are still buying new laptops and desktops.
