PC shipments are falling, but manufacturers are making more money selling pricier AI PCs

Bottom line: PC makers are selling more expensive machines into a market with fewer available units, as tight memory supplies reshape product mix, pricing, and demand for AI-capable systems.

But that status quo is starting to change: Amazon's top 10 best-selling GPU list is an even split between Team Red and Team Green, with the highest position held by a Radeon 9000-series card. Meanwhile, in Germany, AMD is the one that's dominating sales – at least at one retailer.
