The latest reports claim that AMD will raise the price of its GPUs next month, with Nvidia set to follow it one month later with its own GPU price increases. The price increases come as the increased demand for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers has increased prices for other components, such as the VRAM that is included with GPUs.
While it’s unknown how much AMD will increase its GPU prices by, other reports have claimed it won’t be a massive price tag change. According to these reports, AMD intends to bump up the price of its GPUs by roughly $10 per 8GB of VRAM. AMD GPUs range from 8 GB to 24 GB of VRAM, meaning the price increase will range from $10 to $30 depending on the graphics card. It’s unclear how much Nvidia intends to increase its GPU prices by.
