AMD to Raise Ryzen Processor Prices from Today
AMD communicated to its retail partners of a price increase for its Ryzen desktop processors in the retail channel. This could just be a case of the company restoring regular pricing from brand- and distributor-level discounts for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, although we don't know the tune to which the prices are being increased just yet. Increased processor pricing could hit DIY gaming PC budgeting that's already strained with rising prices of DDR5 memory. The price increases are expected to cover the entire portfolio of consumer-segment Ryzen desktop processors, with there being active SKUs across the Ryzen 9000 series "Zen 5" and Ryzen 7000/8000 series "Zen 4." The company is planning interesting new SKUs in the entry-mainstream segment based on older IP, a recent example of which is the Ryzen 5 7500X3D.

It's too early in the morning for me so maybe my brain is playing tricks on me, but..... do you need the word "processor" in the title twice?
"AMD to Raise Ryzen Processor Processor Prices from Today"
Thankfully I'm not in the market for a new build...prices keep going up and I'm slowly getting priced out. Too many other important things require my money and even those things are getting more and more expensive.....And I expect everyone will raise prices under the excuse of RAM pricing, motherboard sales are apparently down 40-50% so consumers will keep getting screwed from AI companies ruining everything until the bubble pops. Or maybe stupidly high prices will be the new "normal" as users are pushed into the cloud and software as a service because you'll own nothing and be happy.
Before covid times I used to build PCs from 90% used parts (bar HDDs and monitors) but later it all became a bit pointless (at least in my areas).
I somehow prefer to backup with fast parts today but not tomorrow.
Storage, RAM, video cards and now CPUs, what else is left?
And I don't see a quick end, not even after months - at this point everything is so connected to AI it can't fail - we will rather bail it out with taxpayer's money, and let everything else fail...
But will sales decrease?
But I think this will go on to much higher extremes than crysis during cryptomining insanities ever went, and I think it is even possible for PC sector to drastically diminish - I mean, who needs local powerful machines when nobody produces anything any more, everything is hallucinated in AI servers?
Prebuilt computers are often crappy enough already, I can't wait to see the average HP or Dell to come with a single 8GB DDR5 4800 stick and a 128GB SSD, running W11 and all of the preinstalled junk so users have no disk space.
Maybe that's the goal from these companies in the AI circle of money, make the PC market terrible enough to crash it all, then everyone will be forced to use AI with their phones.
