The publication says this is due in part to the end of GPU bundling with motherboards along with demand shrinkage in the Chinese DIY market. An early warning sign of the coming slowdown manifested in the Q2 2022 motherboard shipment figures — larger than expected shipment reductions in Q2 portend weaker shipments going into Q3, and possibly into Q4. As for the root causes, the industry insiders say the end of the consumer GPU drought has hurt motherboard sales. GPU shortages allowed the likes of Asus and Gigabyte to promote motherboard sales by bundling them with GPUs, effectively forcing customers to buy their motherboards, thus leading to … [Read more...] about Asus, Gigabyte Lower Motherboard Projections, Bemoan Lost GPU Bundles: Report
