Release Probability Analysis
↘ -25.5% GPU releases have decreased in recent years
How This Percentage is Calculated
Step 1: Find the difference between periods
69.0 - 92.6 = -23.599999999999994
Step 2: Divide by the previous period average
-23.599999999999994 ÷ 92.6 = -0.2549
Step 3: Multiply by 100 to get percentage
-0.2549 × 100 = -25.5%
Possible reasons: Longer development cycles for advanced chips, fewer companies making GPUs, supply chain challenges, or focus on higher-end products rather than quantity.
