Intel has confirmed price increases on select consumer and server CPUs, with some Xeon models already seeing higher list prices.
Reports suggest AMD may raise prices by around 10% in Q4 for graphics chips, AI accelerators, and chipsets. Ryzen CPUs were not specifically mentioned.
What this could mean for retail pricing and the used CPU market, especially for data centers and businesses holding older server hardware.

AMD raised its 2030 data center CPU forecast to roughly $220 billion, then stated its EPYC performance claims in "agents per rack." The footnote admits agent counts are derived from available thread resources used as a proxy.
Nvidia's Vera makes the opposite bet: 88 faster cores rather than 256 denser ones.
Neither has published the benchmark that would decide which is right.

Intel will revive hyper-threading in its 2028 Coral Rapids Xeon server CPUs, CEO Lip-Bu Tan said, as it fights to reclaim CPU market share.

AI isn't just hungry for GPUs anymore — it's eating CPUs too.
In 2026, server CPU lead times have stretched up to a year, prices are up 20%, and both Intel and AMD are sold out. The culprit? The shift from AI training to real-time agentic AI, which is pushing CPU-to-GPU ratios from 1:8 toward 1:1 in data centers.
If you're managing IT assets, this changes your buying AND selling calculus. We break down what's driving the crunch, what's coming next (hint: Nova Lake and Zen 6 are both delayed to 2027), and how to turn the shortage to your advantage.
