Increasing material costs may prompt OEMs to shift their focus to high-margin AI PCs and premium flagship products to alleviate some of the burden.

    These currently include the Intel Core Ultra processors, which have been quite popular among gamers over the past year or so.

    The person who wrote this article has exactly ZERO idea about the current market situation and is probably working for userbenchmarks.

    I just checked some CPU sales data from retailers here in EU and AMD has currently >90% market share.

    So nobody really cares…

    Demands go up, prices go up, demand goes down prices go up

      Price increases when demand goes up, or supply goes down.

      It’s only cheap when supply exceeds demand. They’re cutting supply here.

      To win the AI pop, you gotta have a supply of ECC motherboards ready to go when it all gets scrapped.

        There’s a 600$ Macbook now running ARM. Hopefully it can run Linux soon.

              the person didn’t ask for qualcomm/mediatek/nvidia/endless based arm chips, he specifically asked for the new macbook(implied neo) running linux soon because the term “it” was used to refer to it. Arm can already run linux, which would be redundant question to ask.

              Qualcomm I doubt will be any better, which means if AMD or Intel don’t step up in the ARM space, then the best bet is nVidia and their 95% GPU market share.

      In a few years there will be shit loads of irrelevant AI crap that no-one will be able to use because they can’t buy devices. These AI companies seem like a predator that goes extinct because it has eaten all its potential prey.

        people will be able to buy devices, but only devices that are so crappy they can’t run AI (or games) locally

    People still buy intel CPUs? I think my last Intel CPU was the P3 I got for $100 when I worked at CompUSA in 1999-2000.

      They’ve picked themselves quite a bit since last year and are actually very competitive on laptops. They’ve still got ways to go for desktop but the changes they’ve made since are promising.

        Yep, those are the only ones I’ve bought since roughly 1999.

      They are competitive, especially given motherboard prices. I used it for my wife as someone agnostic to it.

    When the value of a dollar declines, you need more dollars to buy things. Normally, Intel sets prices plenty high at launch so they don’t have to raise them later, but extraordinary times…
