AMD Plans 10% Price Hike Across GPUs, Chipsets, and Possibly CPUs
AMD is preparing for a series of price hikes in response to rising costs of acquiring silicon from its supply chain.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — TechPowerUp
It ranks mainly on source trust: TechPowerUp is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
AMD is preparing for a series of price hikes in response to rising costs of acquiring silicon from its supply chain. According to ChannelGate, AMD is working on a 10% price increase across its products due to the upstream supply chain squeeze. Since most of AMD's silicon is manufactured by Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC, any change in wafer pricing forces AMD to pass these costs onto customers. Reportedly, TSMC is increasing the pricing of its silicon wafers, and as a result, AMD must raise its product costs to maintain margins and keep the business afloat. The price increases will affect almost every product AMD offers, including GPUs, possibly CPUs, and even motherboard chipsets.
