CPU prices ... what happened?

Recommended Posts

Prices for an i9 9900K here in the uk is averaging £550 ($698 USD)

By contrast the i7 8700K is around £400 ($508 USD)

By my poor mathematics, that's around a 37% difference in price for nowhere near a 37% increase in performance.

I've been monitoring hardware prices on this site which suggests they are leveling off at the moment https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/jHZFf7/intel-core-i9-9900k-36ghz-8-core-processor-bx80684i99900k?history_days=60 I think they have a US site too.

Becoming less and less convinced that now is the time for a return to the flying community!
