Previously, Intel had only said that a price increase will take effect in the fourth quarter of 2022 for CPUs and a specific set of components. ITHome has now learnt that the price increase will also apply to motherboards (through Board Channels). The justification is that Intel, rather than a third party, created the chipsets utilised by Intel motherboards. As a result, prices may increase somewhat, impacting the following Intel 700-series motherboards that support 13th Generation Raptor Lake CPUs. The price reduction would be more noticeable in the CCG, or Client Computing Group, according to a previous statement by Intel. The CCG is in charge of popular computing platforms, including the forthcoming 13th Gen Raptor Lake and motherboards from the 700-series. If so, buyers should expect to spend far more for next-generation motherboards and processors than they did for the previous generation. The CCG segment of Intel’s business performed 25% lower than it did a year ago and 15% worse than the company’s initial Q2 projection. That cost Intel a lot of money. Therefore the corporation has chosen to raise the price of its components to make up for the losses. We also will see more pricing improvement in CCG than DCAI. They’re both –we’re adjusting pricing, but the pricing is more significant in CCG. And so that also gives CCG a lift in the later part of the year.” –David Zinsner Chief Financial Officer at Intel (The Motely Fool) Additionally, the price increase is in line with the global and US inflationary boom, which has caused consumer goods prices to rise by up to 9.1% in June, a 40-year high. Although the final rates have not yet been disclosed to partners or clients, we may anticipate that happening when we start the next quarter.
