If they're equivalent on performance, then I suppose that it would boil down to price, power consumption and platform features.
Those are prices a month before the chips even are available for sale. So, I'll take them with a grain of salt. That said, Intel also just significantly increased prices on their SDDs too: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16503/the-intel-ssd-670p-review So, that does give a bit more weight to the possibility of higher CPU prices.
| CPU | Price | Price compared to 2700K |
| 2700K | $ 332.00 | 100% |
| 3770K | $ 332.00 | 100% |
| 4770K | $ 339.00 | 102% |
| 4790K | $ 339.00 | 102% |
| 5775C | $ 366.00 (this chip was almost not produced) | 110% |
| 6700K | $ 339.00 | 102% |
| 7700K | $ 350.00 | 105% |
| 8700K | $ 359.00 | 108% |
| 9700K | $ 374.00 | 113% |
| 10700K | $ 374.00 | 113% |
| 11700K | $ 484.99? | 146%? |
For the record Mindfactory started selling and shipping 11700Ks at 480 Euros - 60 Euros above the 5800X.
Mindfactory is really geared towards AMD sales. Heck, even if you click on CPUs, you get two big clickable links at the top to choose from (A) AMD or (B) Gigabyte:

Intel chips are an afterthought for Mindfactory. So, I'm hopeful that retail prices are better elsewhere. But, that hope is fading.Prozessoren (CPU)

That memory latency is NOT impressive:
Compare their AMD pricing over time to other retailers. It is usually a very good price. Then do the same to Intel's chips. Not a good value. There are sales here and there. But no one would go to Mindfactory just for an Intel chip unless they got a sale on another component and only wanted one order.
What're you talking about? Their Zen 3 pricing quite closely matches what we have here with retailers such as ScanUK, and their Comet Lake pricing right there is right on par with other retailers.
For the record guys that memory latency test was run in 1:2 mode. In 1:1 mode it should be about 10ns lower, which is back on par with last gen again. The main limitation is that getting RAM over 3733 seems to be basically impossible - at least right now. Things could change closer to launch though.
You linked their Intel sales prices, which are decent. But, still not as good as the other German sites:

Their non-sales Intel prices are not even remotely good. If you want value, it is pretty simple, you wouldn't shop Mindfactory for Intel parts.
Go back to what I wrote at the beginning. Compare their Intel prices over time. Mindfactory is having an Intel sale right now. So at the very moment, their prices are not bad. But, even in this best case scenario for your argument, Mindfactory is still not the cheapest in Germany. It isn't 2 Euros all the time. It is often dozens of Euros higher for Intel processors. Mindfactory just has generally bad Intel prices compared to other German companies. Complain all you want, I'm just reporting their own prices.
Dude, everyone has Comet Lake on sale now compared to original prices and RRPs. Not just MindFactory. So unless you have pricing information for both vendors, you don't have a real point here.
Just watch the prices over time. You'll see. Or is there some other point you are trying to make?
