Foundry costs have gone through the roof, because demand is greater than supply. So AMD's production costs have surely increased.
So while companies are not our friends, it is surely quite reasonable for AMD to raise enduser cost, when AMD's production cost increases. And not necessarily some conspiracy against the user. Right? Cartels and illegal monopolies are absolutely a thing that can happen, but you have to actually argue that is the case here, before saying AMD is acting badly.
I think that is reasonable, but, either this article is not accurate, or that is not the cause that AMD stated.
From the top of the article:
Nothing about a supplier or service provider mentioned. They mention their BS made-up shortages.
Well, what do you think is causing the depleted inventories? Surely the lack of foundry availability.
