After back-to-back years of strong growth, semiconductor revenues will decline this year, according to IDC's latest update to its semiconductor forecaster.
The IT market research specialist predicts worldwide semiconductor revenue to decline to $440 billion (£342 billion), a 7.2 percent drop from $474 billion (£369 billion) in 2018, due to oversupply that will continue into 2020.
IDC said the slump is temporary and expects revenues to recover in 2020 and register a compound annual growth rate of 2.0 percent from 2018-2023, reaching $524 billion (£408 billion) in 2023.

And wonder why? The past two years ram, cpu and gpu prices steadily climbed unreasonably, mainly just to cash in, specially with the ram.
Then gpu prices commenced to fall, now ram follows and entry level cpu prices are still much higher.
Overall buying a new similar computer is still more expensive than back then even if the HD storage is cheaper mainly due to the push of SSD's falling prices.
