AMD plans to raise the price of its CPUs, GPUs and Chipsets by 10%
We have seen that the current situation has left us with high prices for some components, and little by little we see how they affect others, which are increasing their price more moderately. AMD has already announced price increases in some of its components such as GPUsand now it does not rule out raising its price again 10% accompanied by chipsets and even CPUs.
AMD could raise the price of GPUs, CPUs and chipsets by 10%
A response from AMD to the increases that the supply chain where these components are manufactured. The information comes from the ChannelGate forumswhere it is said that AMD will raise a 10% the price of components to counteract the rise in silicon wafers which is mainly manufactured by TSMC. TSMC appears to have been increasing the price of silicon wafers, forcing AMD to also pass this increase on to its customers to maintain the margins and viability of its business.
Previously the manufacturer had already raised the price of its GPUs and CPUsbut on this occasion the prices will even increase chipsets for motherboards. A situation that will also have an impact on motherboard manufacturers, who will undeniably also have to increase the price of this component for the end user.
The rise in TSMC wafers would impact the final price
This, in turn, is caused because TSMC has also had to increase the price of wafersdue to the increase in costs for manufacturing and raw materials. A whiting that bites its tail in which in the end the consumer always pays.
