Andy Paul

CORSAIR^® (NASDAQ: CRSR), a world leader in high-performance gear for gamers and content creators, today shared compelling results from a new DFC Intelligence Survey indicating strong upside potential to the PC hardware and components market over the next two years

“We have been saying for some time that gamers who built gaming PCs and bought peripherals during the pandemic, would likely upgrade again in the usual 3–4 year refresh cycle. The findings from DFC agree with this hypothesis and point to robust demand for PC hardware in 2024, which we expect CORSAIR to directly benefit from. “
