Memory got the headlines, but server CPUs are running the same playbook a few months behind. Prices up 10–20% since March, average lead times stretched from 2 weeks to 8–12 (worse on popular SKUs), and both Intel and AMD signaling more increases in H2. This piece pulls the channel data into one table and looks at what it means for anyone holding Xeon or EPYC inventory — values on pulled processors track shortages like this with a lag.
