Inspur Systems is one of the most prominent vendors of servers worldwide. A report by Mizuho Securities' Managing Director Jordan Klein reveals recently that Dolly Wu, Vice President and General Manager of Datacenter/Cloud at Inspur Systems, anticipates AMD to increase the pricing on their data center processors. The information continues to show Intel's Sapphire Rapids scalable processors will see delays in the release until the third quarter of 2022.

AMD plans to increase the EPYC data center processors' costs, rising between 10 to 30 percent higher. Due to the current chip shortages worldwide, this comes as no surprise from consumers. When the website Tom's Hardware reached out to AMD for comment, the company declined for two reasons—AMD and other notable companies never discussed pricing, including changes due to market stability. Secondly, AMD is coming up on its fourth-quarter earnings report. They continue to remain silent so as not to divulge any gains or losses to the general public or their competition.
