    Analyst Opinion

    Smartphones are the defining topic of the overall Phones market. While the difference between industrialized and developing countries is less pronounced compared to other markets (e.g., Software), other influences play an important role. For instance, cultural factors are decisive. Thus, the popularity of “Bring Your Own Device” policies affects the sales of smartphones and other equipment. Like other IT markets the Phones segments are also driven by innovations. Especially the 5G adoption will force new market developments, as devices have to be adjusted due to the new communication technology.

    Computer components - statistics & facts

    A computer has several key features including a central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), memory, and storage. Just like organs have specific roles in the body, each component in a computer has a unique function. The CPU is like the brain, directing operations, while the GPU is like the eyes, processing visual information. Beyond this, short-term memory helps store data that the CPU needs to access quickly, while storage acts as the computer’s long-term memory, holding files and programs for extended periods. With the optimum combination of components, computers are becoming ever more powerful and efficient.
