AMD raises GDDR6 prices for GPU partners
AMD has increased the price of GDDR6 memory—used in most of its Radeon graphics cards—sold to its manufacturing partners, effective October 1. The exact amount of the hike isn't public, but this typically leads to higher retail GPU prices. The latest move is expected to hit the newest Radeon RX 9000 series hardest. NVIDIA, meanwhile, hasn't announced a similar change for its memory prices this year.
