CPU Prices Will Reportedly Rise Again For The Third Time This Year

According to a new report from Chinese market research firm Minutes Logic Society, Intel plans to implement another price hike for its CPUs in the coming months. The report states that CPU prices will increase by 30 percent more than the previous year. This will mark the third price hike this year, with a price increase occurring once a month so far. The hike is reportedly driven by higher demand from AI data centers, coupled with Intel’s inability to meet these demands. The price increase is Intel’s attempt to limit the demand by raising prices.

Valve recently posted a message on the official Steam Deck website warning potential buyers that the handheld, specifically the 512GB and 1TB OLED models, “may be out of stock intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages.” The 256GB LCD model is no longer in production, and Valve stated that it “once sold out will no longer be available.” The Steam Deck recently sold out in the United States, and the new message appears to clarify the reason. The limited stock is tied to rising RAM and GPU costs caused by ongoing memory chip shortages, which continue to impact PCs and consoles.
