Intel Reportedly Plans 10% Price Hike on Raptor Lake CPUs

Industry reports cite tight Raptor Lake supply triggered by softer demand for newer AI‑focused chips.

Overview

  • Taiwan’s Digitimes reports that Intel intends to raise prices on its 13th‑ and 14th‑Gen Raptor Lake processors by more than 10%.
  • Analysts attribute the move to supply constraints, including foundry pressures, alongside unexpectedly weak AIPC sales momentum.
  • Intel declined to comment on the report, saying it would not provide a statement at this time.
  • The cited examples point to chips moving from roughly $150–$160 to about $170–$180, or around a $20 increase per SKU.
  • Major retailers had not broadly reflected higher prices as of publication, though any increases could compound pressure from rising DRAM costs.
