Intel plans to increase the pricing of its 13th and 14th-generation Raptor Lake processors by more than 10 percent, according to a DigiTimes report. The semiconductor manufacturer faces supply constraints while newer artificial intelligence-focused chips experience disappointing sales performance. Manufacturing partners express concerns about the proposed price adjustments that could impact their operations. Intel representatives declined to provide official statements regarding the changes to their pricing strategy.

Raptor Lake processors maintain competitive market positions despite their age, particularly after Arrow Lake's underwhelming reception among consumers. Desktop users continue to prefer older-generation chips for gaming applications due to their superior performance characteristics. Supply shortages have persisted throughout the year, creating additional market pressure. The price increases could add approximately twenty dollars per processor unit, further straining an already challenging personal computer market environment.
