AMD’s GPU’s Just Got a Massive 20% Price Hike

AMD Radeon graphics cards are experiencing significant price hikes in China, with Q3 2026 sales guidance raising costs across the RX 9000 series by between 5% and 20%. The RX 9070 XT has been the most affected, with its new guidance reaching approximately $1,037. Memory costs, particularly for GDDR6 and GDDR7, are cited as the primary reason for the price increases.

AMD had previously informed its board partners about the upcoming price hikes for GPU-and-memory bundles, and retailers in China had already begun to see rising Radeon prices.
