"Looking at the price increases from major motherboard manufacturers in August, the overall increases were relatively small, only around 3%, and affecting a limited number of models," the source continues, "Among Taiwanese brands, MSI raised prices across the board, while Asus and Gigabyte only increased prices for their main models, with small increases ranging from 5-50 yuan. Domestic brands [in China] like Colorful and Maxsun only increased prices by 10-20 yuan, resulting in a relatively small overall increase." For context, five yuan is about $0.74. 10 yuan is $1.49, and 50 yuan is still only about $7.44 at time of writing.
