AMD Prepares 10% GPU Price Hike Amid Memory Shortage AMD has reportedly notified its supply chain that it will increase pricing across its entire GPU product line by about 10%. The main driver behind this is the massive memory shortage driving DRAM prices to skyrocket and eating up all the margins for GPU makers. Apparently, AMD's AIB partners have been notified that AMD plans to implement a 10% price increase across the board, which AIBs will likely match in the coming weeks to preserve their margins. GPU makers like AMD (and NVIDIA/Intel) bundle...

Microsoft will not release a 2025 diversity report There has been a phase of tech companies releasing diversity reports each year, giving overviews of workforce makeups.
