Sources suggest AMD GPU manufacturers are facing 10% higher chip costs towards the end of the year, attributed to price increases from chip maker TSMC. These encompass AI chips, consumer GPUs, and motherboard chipsets. Yesterday, we reported on a drop-off in Nvidia and AMD graphics sales at Amazon, with Intel more than doubling its GPU market share as a result.

This information comes from the often-reliable ChannelGate, a Chinese source that typically posts to insider forums such as Board Channels. According to the post, TSMC has already notified its customers (including AMD) of a chip price hike, “with an increase of about 10%” coming in Q4 this year, which spans from October 1 to December 31.
