Intel, which went into financial recession due to global inflation, decided to increase its production costs in the summer. This increase in the third quarter of the year is slowly starting to affect the component market.
Bad season in the component market
Although there is a general decrease in price for products such as DRAM, NAND, and graphics cards due to the remaining stocks, Intel and TSMC are increasing their prices on their own. This, of course, keeps the price declines limited.
Adjusting prices from Intel
From the end of this month, up to 20 percent increases are expected in Intel components such as processor, chipset, Wi-Fi controllers. As a result, there will be price increases in ready-made computer systems, component products and laptop computers, especially motherboards. It is stated that there will be increases in the focus of Intel Raptor Lake processors in particular.
Intel, whose computer division lost around 25 percent in the second quarter of the year, announced that it would optimize its profit margin. Price increases will begin to reflect in Intel’s financial statements in the fourth quarter.
