Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Prices will continue to drop though as the 5800x has high margins for AMD, and Intels Alder Lake-s (desktop) with up to 16 cores (big little) will be launching in 4 months. And Zen 4 is slated for holiday 2022. So AMD's only option is price cuts, and their limited sku (likely 5950x and 5900x only) 3D vcache released next year.
The prices will not continue to drop lol, there's a chip shortage, not in the best interest for AMD to massively discount their CPUs. The reason for the drop is that AMD wants to be more competitive with the 11700k Intel CPU that also offers good value. Previously, the 5800x was AMD's worst value since it was a $150 upgrade + cooler cost from the 5600x. Now it seems more reasonable.

This or i9 10850k for $320. I live near microcenter tustin. I have a 8700k it runs fine but I feel kinda bad I have a ryzen 9 5900hs laptop that runs circles around my cpu. I want to upgrade for cheap i'll sell of my 8700k

installed one of these last week after being on intel - regret the decision. Most likely going to have to rma the chip since it throttles in 3 seconds when running cinebench. Didn't know this processor had such issues until it was too late.
If you get one, be sure to test it while it is in the return window.
