  "account": "A recent report from Digitimes suggests that Intel is planning to increase the prices of their CPUs by 10%, following two previous increases in 2026 and July. The sources indicate that the price hike will affect some server and client CPUs, potentially impacting Intel's mobile and server businesses before desktop clients. Intel is also set to unveil major new annual products in March 2027, with AMD following suit between June and July. This move is likely driven by Intel's efforts to improve gross margins as the PC market contracts. Server CPUs have seen a surge in demand due to the rise of agentic AI workloads, pushing Intel's share price to record highs.",
