[It is reported that Intel CPU prices will increase by another 10%] On September 8th, supply chain sources revealed that in response to the surge in overall costs, Intel PC CPU prices have been gradually increasing over the past year, and are tentatively scheduled to increase by another 10% in early October. Even though the PC terminal market is expected to decline slightly in 2027, Intel still chooses to increase CPU prices. It is obvious that increasing gross profit margin is the primary goal. The past bargaining to seize the market is no longer the case. Supply chain analysis shows that if Intel sets low gross profit margin as an important threshold for product retention, some products will inevitably be forced to exit. Once these demands are released, Arm camp players such as MediaTek and Qualcomm may have the opportunity to enter. Especially in the IPC, edge computing and IoT markets, Arm SoC has the advantages of high integration and low power consumption. (Taiwan Electronic Times)
