Intel Price Hike To Affect Upcoming CPUs, Motherboard Chipsets & Other Components In Q4, Up To 20% Increase

The pricing battle will be interesting. If it ends up being 7700x about the same price as 13600k, then I think it will be an easy Ryzen recommendation for most people in terms of gaming. Cause having 8 big cores is better than having 6P cores and 8E cores in most gaming scenarios. We will see though.

Intel wants to get the same money they made before despite the lower sales, that's why they're raising the prices.

And I'd say that the price increase is already happening. In several stores the Alder Lake processors are more expensive now than when they launched, at least both the 12600K and the 12700K.

Almost feels like we finished off the Pascal era and headed towards the Turing era for CPUs where we are going to have a "new normal" pricing for products despite the jump not being as impressive as they used to be.
