AMD Ryzen CPUs have reportedly seen over a 50% price increase in Japan, likely due to AI.

… CPU prices could reportedly increase as software developers shift toward running cloud-based AI-related applications locally.

Who tf is running ai models on cpus? The source seems to be a Chinese report by intel:

… The goal was to achieve a cumulative price increase of 30% based on 2025 prices, thereby recovering the investment in capacity expansion and meeting the return expectations of the capital market and investors…

… some users, especially software developers, are choosing to deploy AI-related applications locally, thus creating strong demand for AI PCs … The core growth is concentrated in the high-end thin and light laptop and thin and light gaming laptop user groups…

So the reason AMD’s desktop cpus suddenly got more expensive in Japan is because Intel is expecting an increase in ultrabook sales? I’m unsatisfied

So is google banning single page applications or just the malicious behavior described? Hate when their announcements are so cryptic
