Intel CPU Prices Reportedly Rise 15–20%; AMD May Follow

Intel CPU prices have reportedly risen by 15–20% across multiple product families, while AMD is also expected to raise prices, according to a report by Wccftech.

Wccftech cites Taiwanese media outlet CTEE and unnamed supply-chain sources. The report says the Intel increase took place in September, earlier than expected. Intel had previously been reported as planning to raise CPU prices by up to 10% in October.

The reported increase affects Panther Lake, Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake, and Alder Lake. The report says AMD is expected to follow with price increases, but the supplied information does not specify their timing or scale.

The claims are attributed to media reporting and supply-chain sources; the supplied information does not include direct confirmation from Intel or AMD.
