Intel reportedly to hike CPU prices 10% in October
↗
Intel is reportedly planning a 10% price increase for its PC CPUs in October, part of a shift toward profitability, according to a Digitimes report.
For engineers sourcing CPUs, a 10% price hike directly raises hardware costs and may require budget adjustments. The increase follows Qualcomm's September price rise and ongoing component shortages, suggesting sustained higher prices. Intel's focus on profitability over market share indicates this may not be a temporary change.
