Holy cow: the news explosion from CES
CES came and we all stayed at home. That's maybe just as well. We know several people who think they may have gotten Covid-19 at last year's event. They had caught what they at first thought was a really bad case of the CES Flu. As always, reporting on CES is really a months-long process as the entire universe for consumer electronics resets itself for a new year. And this, friends, is a big new year.

The third quarter of 2022 marked the end of exuberant growth in the workstation market, and based on Q4 results, the decline — or perhaps better put, a return to normal and sustainable marketplace — is not over.

“The fixed workstation segment sputtered after a promising rebound in the waning days of the pandemic, dampened in part by the imminent refresh of Intel’s Xeon platform,” JPR Workstation Report author Alex Herrera explained. “Meanwhile, the mobile workstation saw an inevitable decline after several quarters of unsustainable pandemic-induced gains.
