The numbers are in: global PC shipments have continued to decline in 2019, with the best from Lenovo, HP, and Dell failing to pull sales from their current downward trajectory. And while that’s not great news for AMD or Intel, there’s a silver lining for the former. To try and ease at least some of the supply constraints from Intel, the major PC OEMs have started looking for alternatives - landing right into AMD’s lap. During Q1 2019, global shipments declined 3% according to IDC, and look a little worse for wear by Gartner’s numbers - who put shipments down by 4.6% year-over-year. Both market research companies put the total tally for Q1 2019 roughly in the same area, give or take a couple hundred thousand units. For the quarter, Gartner estimates 58.5m PC shipments were made. Lenovo and HP are dueling it out for the top spot on the food chain. Each holds roughly 22-23% of the entire PC market, with IDC putting HP slightly ahead by 0.2% and Gartner favouring Lenovo by 0.6%. Either way, both companies are pretty massive and, along with Dell, the only to grow in size over last year. Everyone else, including Apple, Asus, and Acer, shrank over the period.
