Intel announced to increase the price of various semiconductor chips by up to 20%

Recently, according to media reports, due to the impact of global inflation, the production cost of semiconductor products has risen, and Intel will increase the price of some semiconductor products in the second half of the year. According to CNMO, Intel previously stated at the first quarter earnings conference that due to the pressure brought by inflation, it will adjust the price of some products, and has begun to notify customers of relevant news.

According to reports, the US chip giant said that due to a surge in production and raw material costs, products that will increase prices this fall include home computer and server CPUs, as well as peripheral products such as Wi-Fi chips.

It is reported that this time Intel will increase the prices of a wide range of products such as core servers and computer CPU processors and peripheral chips. The increase will be determined according to the type of chips. The final price increase has not yet been determined. However, according to relevant personnel, the lowest increase is around single digits, and some products may increase by 10%-20%.

In fact, high inflation has led to a decline in consumption power, especially after the annual rate of inflation in the United States reached an astonishing 9.1% in June, it seems that the price increase of Intel is not so surprising.

According to the Financial Associated Press, Intel responded on Thursday that it had raised the price of certain products in the company's Q1 earnings conference call to deal with inflationary pressures. Now the company has started notifying downstream consumers of these changes.

Earlier, TSMC also notified customers that it plans to slightly increase product prices from 2023; material suppliers Shin-Etsu Chemical and SUMCO will also increase prices by 20%; wafer manufacturer Global Wafer also confirmed that it will increase the price of its products by 20%. Customers raise prices.
