AMD Decided Not to Lag Behind Intel and Is Also Going to Raise Processor Prices

The component market continues to be seriously shaken.

PC enthusiasts are once again facing unpleasant news: following Intel, AMD is also considering raising prices.

According to Nikkei Asia, AMD plans to increase the cost of its processors in the near future — from the end of March to the beginning of April. We are talking about a price increase of up to 15% for various CPU models. This coincides with the expected price increase from Intel, which, according to previous reports, may raise the price by about 10%.

According to sources, AMD is experiencing increased demand for server and data center solutions, which is causing a shortage of consumer processors. Additional pressure is exerted by the continuing shortage of RAM (DRAM), which has already caused an increase in prices for other components.
