Intel Hikes CPU Prices Ten Percent
Intel is reportedly set to raise PC CPU prices by 10% at the end of March, ETNews reported, citing notices to major clients. The move follows a global memory shortage—dubbed "RAMageddon"—and AI-driven demand that has driven DDR5 and SSD costs sharply higher, which market firm TrendForce says could push laptop retail prices up 30–40%. Supply-chain and procurement timelines may be affected.
