Industry Update: Intel Launches Direct Authorization (DPA) Program for Xeon Processors

Intel is introducing its new Direct Pricing Authorization (DPA) program to partners across Europe, marking a significant shift in how pricing is managed for select 4th and 5th Generation Xeon processors. This move is designed to create a more flexible and responsive pricing model, tailored to meet the evolving needs of the market.

Previously, Intel’s pricing structure relied on volume-based incentives, where customers earned rebates only after reaching predefined purchase thresholds. While effective for large-scale buyers, this model often created challenges for smaller or mid-sized businesses with less predictable volume. With the launch of the DPA program, Intel is now allowing customers to apply directly for special pricing on approved parts, regardless of purchase quantity.
