An index of 114 central processing units climbed to 103.24 by October 2, 2026, marking a 3.24 percent increase over seven days, GinjFo reported from recent price tracker data.
Processor Indices Climb Past Previous Benchmarks
The latest readings from the hardware price tracking platform show that microprocessors are now following graphics processing units into upward pricing territory. In the previous tracking cycle dated September 27, 2026, the processor index sat at a baseline 100.00.
The newest figures place that same basket of hardware up by 3.24 percent within a single week. The tracking sample maintains a consistent count of 114 individual processor references. However, analysts note that panel stability does not guarantee a strictly identical item composition across cycles due to shifting consumer popularity levels among specific models.
Graphics Cards Sustain Thirty-Day Advances
Graphics processing units continue a separate upward trajectory documented earlier in the index. Data collected on October 3, 2026, placed the GPU index at 112.44 across 120 tracked references.
That figure represents a 3.30 percent increase over seven days and a 4.57 percent jump over a thirty-day window. Each individual GPU and CPU reference commands its own distinct market demand, meaning individual hardware lines do not experience uniform price shifts.
| Hardware Category | Observation Date | Tracked References | Index Value | 7-Day Change | 30-Day Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Graphics Cards | October 3, 2026 | 120 | 112.44 | +3.30% | +4.57% |
| Processors | October 2, 2026 | 114 | 103.24 | +3.24% | +3.24% |
| Memory RAM | October 3, 2026 | 298 | 100.48 | +0.13% | -3.05% |
| SSD Storage | October 4, 2026 | 65 | 100.00 | 0.00% | 0.00% |
Memory Costs Recede While Solid-State Drives Hold Steady
System memory components display a mixed pricing pattern across differing timeframes. The RAM index ticked up by 0.13 percent over seven days, yet it dropped by 3.05 percent when measured across a thirty-day span.
Solid-state drives remained entirely flat at an index value of 100.00, registering zero movement across both short-term and monthly checks. The underlying basket for memory shifted from 307 down to 298 active references, while solid-state options maintained a steady count of 65 monitored products.
Market Tracking Adjustments and Purchasing Guidance
Fluctuations in sample sizes across different component categories impose limits on direct cross-period comparisons. Market analysts recommend utilizing specific component references rather than broad index averages when planning hardware upgrades or custom PC builds.
