Multiple Radeon GPU families utilize the GDDR6 memory chips, but it’s likely that the RDNA 4 lineup will end up being affected the most.
Starting This Month, AMD Implements Another Memory Price Hike for GDDR6-Based GPUs, But It’s Not the Only Thing That Will Increase GPU Prices
Memory prices must have climbed once again recently, which is why we are now hearing that AMD has implemented another price hike for memory. Board Channels reports that AMD has already raised the prices for its GDDR6 memory for its board partners, which means board partners will now have no other option but to pass the costs on to consumers.
Apparently, memory prices have become the major factor in recent GPU price hikes, but it’s not the only factor contributing to such hikes. According to Bench Life, there have been price hikes for numerous items, such as SMD components and PCBs. All of them are contributing to the recent price hikes, but memory remains the most affected component.
Considering AMD has raised GDDR6 memory prices, it means that it’s going to affect multiple Radeon GPU families. GDDR6 has been used in the Radeon RX 5000, 6000, and 7000 series, and the current RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 9000 series. Given that some earlier generations have already been discontinued or are seeing lower production, it’s the Radeon RX 9000 series that will be affected the most.
The report states that AMD has already notified its board partners about the memory…
