What happened

Intel is reportedly planning another CPU price increase in May, targeting a cumulative 30% hike versus 2025 pricing. The move follows previous increases in February and March, driven by strong demand and supply constraints involving TSMC-sourced silicon for multi-die packaging. Bullish: Direct upward price pressure on Intel CPUs due to sustained demand and supply bottlenecks.
