Intel has told customers that it will raise the prices of most microprocessors and peripheral chip products this fall, mainly because of rising production and material costs, the Nikkei News reported today, citing unnamed sources.
Three industry executives said Intel plans to raise prices this fall for flagship products such as servers and PC processors, as well as a range of other products, including WiFi and other connectivity chips. Intel told customers that the price hike was necessary because of soaring production and material costs.
A source familiar with the matter said that the increase may vary by chip type, ranging from single digits to more than 10 percent and 20 percent in some cases, with the increase not yet finalized.
