Intel is reportedly tentatively planning another 10% price increase for PC CPUs in early October as overall costs continue to rise. The company has been gradually raising PC CPU prices over the past year. Despite expectations for a slight decline in the PC terminal market in 2027, Intel is reportedly prioritizing higher gross margins and moving away from price cuts aimed at gaining market share. Supply chain analysis suggests some low-margin products could exit the market, potentially creating openings for Arm camp operators such as MediaTek and Qualcomm.
