AMD Signals 10%+ GPU Price Increase in August Amid Memory Shortages
AMD plans at least a 10% price hike for its RDNA4 GPUs in August due to ongoing GDDR6 memory shortages and higher memory costs from suppliers; pricier VRAM configurations are expected to carry larger premiums, while low-VRAM models like the RX 9050 4GB may see around a 10% increase. The move follows NVIDIA's pricing and aims to align the RDNA4 mid-range lineup with premium pricing, though AMD currently lacks a high-end rival to NVIDIA's top SKUs.
