AMD Raises GPU Memory Bundle Prices at Least 10% in August as Nvidia Also Lifts Kit Costs

Summary
AMD has reportedly told add-in-board partners that GPU and graphics memory bundle prices will rise by at least 10% in August, after an earlier expectation the increase would start in July.
Board Channels said AMD had finalized the new supply pricing last month but delayed it because of weak demand, high channel inventory and concern that consumers would resist pricier graphics cards.
Nvidia's reported move to raise kit prices for GeForce products using both GDDR7 and GDDR6 appears to have removed a key constraint, with the source expecting Radeon and GeForce pricing to move closer.
Retail Radeon prices may not jump by the full 10% because the bundle is only part of total board cost, and older inventory could still sell at previous prices until new shipments arrive.
AMD has not publicly confirmed the change, and the report did not specify affected Radeon models, regions or revised shelf prices.
