Recently, the escalating demand for AI has triggered a structural upswing in CPU market prices. By 2026, Intel and AMD's production capacities for server CPUs are expected to be nearly fully utilized. Both companies have plans to hike server CPU prices by 10%-15%, with high-end, AI-optimized models witnessing even steeper increases of 15%-20%. In contrast, consumer-grade CPU prices have largely held steady, though certain models have experienced a 7%-10% uptick. The primary drivers behind these price hikes are the surging demand for AI servers, which has put a strain on CPU production capacities, coupled with concentrated purchasing by cloud service providers. Meanwhile, domestic CPU manufacturers like Hygon Information and Loongson Technology have been steadily expanding their market shares, thanks to technological advancements and policy support.
