AMD Raises GDDR6 Memory Prices for Board Partners

AMD has reportedly raised GDDR6 memory prices for its board partners, effective October 1, according to a Chinese forum post, though no percentage or dollar amount was disclosed. The increase may push retail graphics card prices higher. The timing aligns with recent Radeon price hikes in China, including a $104 rise for the RX 9070 and $45 for the RX 9060 XT 8 GB, while the RX 9070 XT was unchanged. NVIDIA has not issued a similar GDDR7 notice this time. AMD partners faced a 10% GPU kit hike in July and another 10% increase in September tied to TSMC wafer costs. AMD has not confirmed the latest change, and the impact on store prices outside China remains unclear.
