Laptops are selling like hot cakes compared to desktops but generally CPU shipments are sluggish

Intel Meteor Lake CPU.

Jon Peddie Research (JPR) has released a snapshot of its latest PC market analysis, showing that over the last three months, global shipments of CPUs for notebooks and desktop PCs have declined, compared to the constant growth throughout 2023. The portion of those shipments for desktop PCs has also continued to shrink, and JPR predicts that this trend will carry on for the next few months of 2024.

In total, JPR estimates that 62 million client-based CPUs were shipped in the first quarter of this year. That's a decrease of 10%, compared to the final quarter of 2023, but it is 32% better than this time last year. 2023 was a good year for AMD and Intel, as CPU shipments went from 47 million to 69 million, over the 12 months.
