Multiple generations of Intel's modern chips see price hikes up to 20% overseas — foreign markets are feeling the pinch on 12th, 13th, and 14th-gen chips

Intel is reportedly increasing prices for its 13th and 14th Generation processors by up to 10% in the U.S., but international markets are experiencing hikes of up to 20%. The price increases also extend to the 12th-generation Alder Lake processors. In markets like Korea and Japan, prices for various Core i3 and i5 processors have risen significantly. These price adjustments may help boost Intel's profit margins, especially for mid-range SKUs that see high sales volumes. The company's strategy seems to focus on raising prices for processors produced on its in-house nodes while maintaining prices for Arrow Lake processors.
