Svmuu News: As server processor prices continue to rise, Intel (Intel) and AMD are signing longer-term data center CPU procurement agreements with Chinese server customers. These agreements typically lock in purchase volumes but not prices; most have a supply cycle of about one year, though some customers are discussing procurement commitments spanning two years or longer.
Reports indicate that prices for server CPUs in China continue to rise, with some products seeing monthly increases of more than 10 percent; cumulative price increases since the beginning of this year have exceeded 40 percent. (Reuters)
