Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com July 26 news, German authoritative media PCGamesHardware moderator "Pockerclock" said that Intel will announce an increase in CPU prices in the next week or two, due to the need for capital for new wafer factories and a series of problems caused by the company's restructuring.

In response, two German wholesalers and some retailers confirmed that Intel had sent notification letters about the price increase. They think Intel's decision is a bit unexpected, although there may be regional restrictions on the price increase.

Intel is said to have mentioned in the above-mentioned notice to wholesalers that prices will rise for all Core processors that are still sold or produced, including 12000 (Alder Lake), 13000 (Raptor Lake) and 14000 (Raptor Lake Refresh), as well as the upcoming Core I processors and Core Ultra series (Meteor Lake).

Earlier this month, Intel announced that it would stop direct investment in the NUC business and change its strategy, together with Asustek to continue to promote NUC innovation and growth.

Sources said that Intel is currently carrying out very strict business integration, GPU business is also controversial, Arc product line is in a wait-and-see state.

Intel is said to be doing its best to test each area of business. Until the restructuring is completed, consumers may need to spend more money to buy Intel products.

Under the Intel IDM 2.0 strategy, the company will invest hundreds of billions of dollars to build a number of fabs in the United States and Europe, including Magdeburg, Germany, which initially planned to invest 17 billion euros, then soared to 30 billion euros (Intel asked the German government to subsidize 10 billion euros and invest 20 billion euros itself).

As a result, some people suspect that the price increase may only be a regional measure, or even limited to Germany, because Intel needs a lot of money to build a factory in Germany.

In fact, Intel already raised its price once last year. Intel announced price increases for all chips and components last year, ranging from single digits to 20%, according to previous reports from CTOnews.com.
