Intel considers 10 percent PC CPU price hike, raising potential costs for buyers

Intel may raise prices for PC central processing units by about 10 percent in October within the next few weeks, The Verge reported. The move is seen as part of a shift in its PC CPU business toward improving profitability rather than expanding market share. The report comes as chipmakers face broader cost pressures, with Qualcomm raising chip prices on Sept. 1 and component shortages lifting manufacturing costs.
