Motherboard sales are now collapsing amid unprecedented shortages fueled by AI
Motherboard sales are experiencing significant declines in 2026, with the four major manufacturers (Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, ASRock) facing a combined 28% market contraction. This collapse is driven by chipmakers like Nvidia, Intel, and AMD shifting production to AI processors, causing shortages and price increases for consumer PC components, alongside delayed new processor releases and socket stagnation that discourage users from upgrading their systems; some motherboard makers have pivoted to AI server production to mitigate losses.
