- Ayaneo announced the final production batch of the Konkr Pocket FIT 8Elite due to rising storage component costs, with no plans for future restocks of the Snapdragon 8 Elite version.
- The Windows-based Ayaneo NEXT 2 handheld console has suspended pre-orders as storage prices have surged, making the product unsustainable at its original price point.
- Other industry players are also affected, with Valve experiencing low stock of the Steam Deck and delaying Steam Machine and Steam Frame VR launches indefinitely.
- Intel and AMD have both announced CPU price increases, with Intel raising prices by up to 10% and AMD by up to 15%, reflecting ongoing supply chain pressures.
