The prices are about the same as on Black Friday. Anybody have any thoughts on why?
Overstock? AMD lowered prices?The prices are about the same as on Black Friday. Anybody have any thoughts on why?
I just looked. The only prices I am familiar with are the threadrippers and the 2700x. Both are normal, $589(1950x) and $309(2700x)
Odd, more on newegg than their ebay store ???2700X is like $279 and no tax or shipping on their eBay store. Down from $329.
I should show you a picture of 64 threads.... But that might be too much for you. I don;t want to give you heart failure.I noticed not too long ago, that Newegg on ebay had the 2400G for $139.99. That was the only (sort-of) deal that I saw.
But it's not unusual. Good thing to check ebay from time to time, if purchasing a big-ticket component from Newegg or BestBuy (like WD external HDD). I picked up a pair of 10TB WD EasyStore drives for $179.99 ea. plus tax, from BestBuy on ebay.
Edit: Microcenter had the R5 1600 CPU for $99.99 in-store. Rumor has it that there will be a 6C/12T 3000-series Ryzen CPU with the same specs, more or less (more turbo?) for $99.99 MSRP.
I just love opening Task Manager on Windows 7 64-bit on my other rig, and seeing TWELVE CPU graphs. Looks kind of like some sort of high-core count mutant rig like most of Mark's. 😛
