It looks like Intel will increase the price of its CPUs
According to Nikkei Asia, Intel plans to raise prices on flagship products such as consumer and server CPUs, Wi-Fi chips, and controllers this autumn. It's expected that...

Single digit to 20%. No mention of what will get the highest increase. My guess would be server chips as the BOM is the highest there.
Wasn't competition meant to lower prices? So in addition to rising power consumption the hardware itself will also cost more. Plus better cooling needed to deal with the heat that further increases costs. Undervolting is great but most people run stock and don't overclock or undervolt.
