Intel, Qualcomm, and AMD Reportedly Raise CPU Prices One After Another

Supply chain sources say Intel has taken the lead in raising prices for multiple generations of PC processors since September, with high-end Panther Lake chips seeing increases of 15% to 20%, while Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake rose by about 5% to 10%. Among them, not the entire Panther Lake series saw simultaneous price increases. This round of adjustment was concentrated on products manufactured by TSMC's N3E process and equipped with high-end GPU tiles. Prices of Qualcomm's Snapdragon X / X2 Elite and other platforms rose by about 10% starting in October. AMD is also reported to be preparing to adjust the prices of some CPUs, with the extent of the increase, scope, and effective date still to be confirmed.
