Current IssueInner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

PC Client CPU Shipments in 1Q24 Up 33% YoY
May 10, 2024 | Jon Peddie ResearchEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Jon Peddie Research reports the growth of the global PC client-based CPU units market reached 62 million units in Q1’24, a decrease of -9.4% quarter to quarter and a 33% growth from Q1’23.
Meanwhile, iGPU shipments decreased to 56 million units from last quarter. Year over year, however, iGPUs increased by 30%. Over the next five years, the penetration of iGPUs in the PC segment will grow to reach 98%.
Server CPU shipments decreased -13% from last quarter and were down -17% from last year.
Jon Peddie, president of JPR, commented, “Q1’s decrease in client CPU shipments from four quarters of positive news threw a few off, especially investors. It’s actually good news in a sense if it is an indication that the market has stabilized and has returned to its traditional cyclic behavior. If that’s the case, and we think it is, Q2 will also be down.”
