CPU and GPU prices from AMD, Intel and Nvidia will increase up to 20% in the coming months

A new report from Digitimes indicates that the prices of both CPUs and GPUs from AMD, Intel and Nvidia will see increases of between 10% and 20% in the coming months due to an increase in chip prices by TSMC.

The Taiwanese company would have already informed the companies that it will make an increase in its 5nm, 6nm and 7nm chips, affecting not only current chips such as the Ryzen 5000 and the AMD RX 6000, manufactured under the 7nm process, but also upcoming Intel Arc GPUs manufactured at 6nm, and upcoming Ryzen 7000 CPUs plus Radeon RX 7000 and GeForce RTX 4000 GPUs manufactured at 5nm.

As you may have noticed, we have not mentioned the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3000, since these are manufactured by Samsung, although unfortunately this does not mean that it is good news. A few weeks ago Samsung also increased its wafer prices, so we should see the impact of that increase in a few weeks as well.

In this way, the only products safe seem to be Intel CPUs, although we do not know if they had an increase in the cost of materials or something like that that could cause an increase as well.

It will be interesting to see when and how much the prices of all these products increase, which is felt even more in regions like ours and makes it more and more difficult to update components. We’ll be keeping you up to date with what’s new, so stay tuned for HD Technology.

What do you think about this new increase in the prices of CPUs and GPUs from AMD, Intel and Nvidia? When do you think the situation will begin to normalize?
