Strong demand coupled with constrained supply capacity has jointly driven the current wave of price increases. According to supply chain sources, Intel plans to initiate its third round of price adjustments this year in May. Previously, Intel had already implemented two rounds of price hikes exceeding 15% and 10% for some CPU products in February and March, respectively. Facing this situation, AMD also followed suit in March, planning to increase prices for consumer-grade CPUs, with the comprehensive increase reaching up to 15%. Behind this series of moves lies a profound transformation in industry logic. Morgan Stanley pointed out in its latest report that the arrival of the Agentic AI era will reshape the data center landscape, with the investment focus expanding from GPUs to CPUs. The firm predicts that by 2030, the global data center CPU market size will reach $82.5 billion to $110 billion, with new demand driven by Agentic AI contributing $32.5 billion to $60 billion of that.
