Consumer-level CPUs have not experienced significant price increases, while server CPUs have risen in price, which may be only a short-term fluctuation.

In response to the recent rumors of AI heating up CPU sales, reporters visited Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen and found that the CPU price increase trend has not fully spread to the consumer end. Consumer-grade CPUs show no obvious signs of price increases; server-grade CPU prices vary, with different prices given by different merchants for the same product. The Financial Association reporter also sought confirmation from both companies on the news of "Intel, AMD server CPU prices increasing by 10%-15%", but as of the deadline, no response has been received. Many industry insiders expect that CPU prices will continue to diverge in the future, with server prices possibly experiencing short-term fluctuations, but the possibility of widespread and significant price increases is low, and consumer-grade CPU prices remain stable overall.
