I'm surprised the drop is not a lot bigger... Who in their right mind would buy a PC right now unless they had absolutely no choice?
What'll get really bad is when the hardware OEMs become insolvent due to high prices killing consumer demand for their products, and then we are left with few to no options for PC parts.
If nothing else, this could spell the end of the modular ATX/ITX PC.
Most consumers don't research purchases a ton, much less have any idea what's going on in the hardware market. They wander around Best Buy or the first two pages of Amazon search, and buy.
And then you have businesses who are just gonna procure stuff they have to have anyway.
...I would have liked to see data more split by segment and form factor, though.
