AMD GPU Price Hike Due to Rising GDDR6 Memory Cost

01.07.2026, 11:28 • Von Andreas Bunen

According to reports from Chinese motherboard channels, AMD has informed its external motherboard partners of an upcoming price increase for GPU components. Starting in July, the cost of GPU kits which include the GPU and GDDR6 memory as bundle is expected to rise by 10%. The moves are concerning and will further harm the PC hardware market, leading to an even worse consumer sentiment.
