A rumour about component costs
Club386 cites Board Channels posts claiming that the increase took effect on October 1. It would affect GDDR6 supplies, with Radeon RX 9000 cards first in line. The source consulted provides no public confirmation from AMD.
Retail prices are a separate question
An increase in memory costs does not automatically translate into the same percentage increase for an entire card. Its price also depends on the GPU, PCB, cooling system and distribution margins.
Stock already purchased could also delay any knock-on effect. This report establishes neither a precise timetable nor new prices for France.
Key takeaways
This rumour is worth following, but it does not justify treating a widespread price increase as a certainty or urging readers to rush into a purchase.
