Intel to Raise CPU Prices, including 14th Gen Core “Raptor Lake Refresh” Processors: Report

[Tsing]

Intel is planning to raise the prices of its Core CPUs in the coming weeks because the company needs more money to build its latest fabs, according to poker clock, a moderator of the PCGH forum. All CPUs that are currently in production are said to be affected, which would imply that 14th Gen Intel Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" processors will be priced higher than what the current generation debuted at back in October 2022. Complementing the news is a fresh leak from chi11eddog that details some of the key specs of Intel's upcoming non-K models, with the new Core i3 CPUs seemingly sticking with 4 four cores.

They have to stay competitive so I didn't see it happening. Last round AMD was higher priced then Intel so that benefited them so why change.

Yea and brass tax they can't afford to raise prices right now. If AMD comes out with another new gen and increased IPC not just clocks... Intel is going to be relying on their reputation and price competition to maintain majority.
