News from the IT community on October 8th: According to today's updates from the official account ChannelGate under Bopantang, the headquarters of AMD has notified that graphics card prices will be officially increased starting from October 1st. This price hike applies to both domestic and international markets worldwide.
Reports indicate that AMD has decided to raise prices for graphics card products due to factors such as a further increase of about 10% in the cost of 2GB of video memory and rising chip manufacturing costs. This price increase applies to most models, with varying degrees of increase for each one.
The report mentions that during the AMD Q4 quarter, the SEP (from Suggested E to tail to Price) pricing system was implemented, and the price adjustments compared to the previous period ( Q3 SEP ) are as follows:
- RX 9070 XT: Price remains unchanged, executed at 6999 yuan.
- RX 9070: Up 700 yuan, executed at 6299 yuan.
- RX 9070 GRE: The price has increased by 400 yuan, now it's 4999 yuan.
- RX 9060 XT-16G: The price has increased by 600 yuan, now at 4899 yuan.
- RX 9060 XT-8G: The price has increased by 300 yuan, now at 3390 yuan.
- RX 7650 GRE: The price has increased by 400 yuan, now it's 2999 yuan.
- RX 6500 XT: Price remains unchanged, executed at 1599 yuan.
In September this year, Visionox Group stated that according to information from the supply chain, TSMC, the leading wafer foundry company, has notified its customers of an increase in chip manufacturing prices due to rising manufacturing costs, with the increase amounting to approximately 10%. Since the vast majority of Visionox' chip products are manufactured by TSMC, the rise in wafer foundry costs will directly squeeze the gross profit of Visionox' products. Therefore, Visionox is about to initiate measures to pass on these increased costs to its customers.
