The article explores potential outcomes based on upcoming silicon price changes. With TMC predicting a 10-20% drop in silicon costs, AMD may need to raise its prices to maintain profit margins or lower them. Intel, on the other hand, benefits from its own manufacturing processes and isn't heavily impacted by the shortage. The discussion centers on whether Intel will adjust its pricing to keep up with AMD or if AMD will retain its current rates.

Both parties will set prices according to current market conditions. While TSMC increasing prices won't aid AMD, it doesn't mean Intel won't encounter rising expenses either, since they can't handle everything internally.

Intel’s CPUs are more affordable than AMD’s, and the cost is reflected in your electricity expenses later. I suspect AMD has long-term agreements with TSMC, ensuring consistent pricing through 2025. However, prices could rise by around $25 for next-gen SKUs. That’s reasonable. There’s a lot of research focused on improving 3D cache and using more practical silicon within the die.

Plus the chance of throttling increases because Intel imposed strict power caps on non-K CPUs. Without adjusting power limits through software or using a solid board, you’ll notice performance drops—making CPUs act much slower than their AMD rivals. Even if you manage to get a K-core, overclocking becomes essential since Intel’s main edge is single-core performance. If you skip it, your CPU will essentially match AMD but operate at extreme power consumption, raising costs significantly. Intel’s situation is worsening, but prices have dropped somewhat, offering a decent deal if you’re willing to push the limits.

Intel reduced costs on their 10th and 11th models, honestly since they struggle to match Ryzen's performance this time. If the 12th-gen rumors come true and AMD lacks a strong counter, Intel's prices will rise once more. That's the way the market operates. You need to set prices to drive sales. What you're witnessing now reflects a surplus Intel has and a shortage AMD faces in meeting demand. The pricing follows these realities.

We understand AMD has strong rivals for the upcoming 12th generation, Zen3D is expected to launch by December, which will challenge Intel significantly. The cache improvements could boost performance by roughly 10-20%.
