Intel Reportedly Readies a 10% Price Hike for Consumer CPUs

What happened

Intel has reportedly informed major PC clients of a planned 10% price increase for its consumer CPUs, primarily affecting the Core Ultra family. This move follows a period of rising costs for other PC components like memory and storage. Bullish: The direct price increase will immediately raise BOM costs for PC OEMs and is expected to flow through to end-market pricing.
