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.

China's GPU Prices Soar as GDDR6/GDDR7 Costs Spike and Retailers Stockpile

GPU prices for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel have surged in mainland China as DRAM costs for GDDR6 and GDDR7 climb due to shortages, with manufacturers and retailers raising prices and stockpiling inventory. The increases span multiple models (e.g., RTX 5090 D, RTX 5080, 5060 Ti) and are expected to persist, as analysts forecast further DRAM price bumps in 2026, potentially dampening PC shipments and intensifying the market’s volatility.

Radeon RX 9050 Leak Hints at 8GB VRAM and Higher Core Count Than 9060

A leaked spec sheet via VideoCardz points to an entry-level Radeon RX 9050 with 8 GB GDDR6 memory and a Navi 44-based GPU sporting 2048 stream processors, more than the RX 9060's 1792. Clock speeds are listed around 1920 MHz game and up to 2600 MHz boost, with a PCIe 5×16 interface and HDMI 2.1b/DP 2.1a, and a 450 W PSU requirement. The information is unofficial and preliminary, so some cores could be disabled and final specs may change; launch is not expected soon, and performance may lag the 9060 due to lower clocks.

GPUHammer Attack Severely Impairs AI Accuracy on Nvidia GDDR6 GPUs

Researchers from the University of Toronto demonstrated that GPUHammer, a RowHammer-style attack, can induce single-bit flips in GDDR6 memory on NVIDIA RTX A6000 GPUs, drastically reducing AI model accuracy from 80% to below 1%. The attack exploits vulnerabilities in DRAM banks, but enabling ECC can mitigate the risk. The vulnerability affects certain high-end GPUs but not others like the RTX 5090 or data center cards with HBM memory.
