Intel has directly addressed and dismissed rumors about a potential price hike for its CPUs. The rumors originated from a German media outlet, PCGamesHardware, which claimed that Intel had informed German wholesalers about an upcoming price increase for its ‘Core’ processors. The information was based on an unnamed forum member’s claim, stating that letters confirming the price hike had been issued to wholesalers.
In response to the rumors, Intel stated that it generally does not comment on speculation regarding price changes but confirmed that it had not sent any such letter to customers or partners. Furthermore, the company stated that it has not initiated a price change to its CPU portfolio at the time of the statement.
While Intel’s response addresses the specific rumor in question, it doesn’t rule out the possibility of future price hikes. As of now, there are no immediate price changes planned for Intel’s CPUs.
