AMD reportedly raises GPU prices for partners – Here’s how much

AMD raises its GPU pricing, and high-VRAM GPUs are hit hardest

AMD has reportedly informed its partners about price increases for its 8GB and 16GB graphics cards. These prices are due to the world’s ongoing memory shortage, which has seen the price of DRAM skyrocket. AMD supplies its GPU silicon to partners with DRAM, which has forced it to raise prices to maintain margins.

Based on reports from Board Channels, AMD has increased the price of 8GB GPUs by $20 and 16GB GPUs by $40. These price increases apply to new GPU orders, so it will take time for them to affect retail customers. The leaker also claims that AMD plans to release no new GPU products in 2027.

AMD has officially announced a price increase for its graphics cards, with a significant increase expected this year.

It is reported that several AMD graphics card brands have officially notified their channels to prepare inventory. The first wave of price increases will be $20 for 8 GB and $40 for 16 GB, with an estimated overall increase of around 300 RMB for 8 GB and 600 RMB for 16 GB by the end of the year. No new products will be launched throughout 2027.

If this report is accurate, gamers can expect GPU prices to increase in 2026. Once newly manufactured GPUs hit retailers, AMD’s graphics card prices will rise. Ultimately, today’s rising memory costs will be paid for by consumers.

We have also confirmed that AMD has raised its CPU pricing. This was done at the distributor level, which means retailers will need to raise their prices when they order new stock. Add on rising memory and GPU costs, and the cost of building a gaming PC will increase significantly.
