Well. Depending on what motherboard you have, you may be able to update your bios and just install the 5700x that's on sale for 170-180 ish.

Compared to spending 155 plus 150 on a motherboard assuming you get a z690 ddr4 motherboard

The Intel would maybe be 3-5% faster than the 5700x but at least cost twice as much to change platforms

Because their favorite tech youtube eceleb probably criticized them. I never had an issue with newegg once.
Because years back they got sold to a Chinese company and the security went out the window and there was a rash of data theft. I had to replace my credit card because of that. At least that is why I don't like dealing with them.

Why do people prefer to avoid Newegg? I was thinking about pulling trigger on some parts with them. I have never used them though.
I can't speak for everyone, but I typically go with Amazon because of their superior return policy, especially when it comes to anything with a screen (monitor, tv, laptop, etc.). Amazon will take back products with screens with as little as a single bad pixel, Newegg requires multiple dead/stuck pixels before they'll accept a return, which is unacceptable to me. There is also the concern about payment security as they've had at least one significant data breach, but I use PayPal when purchasing from them to keep them from having my actual card data.

Because they are now a scummy chinese-run company that likes to pull shady tactics, like not honoring rebates, sending out used gear, etc.
similar feeling.
that's what has been happening in all those chinese companies, don't they?

Quote from Teaser38 :
There's not going to be any socketed Meteor Lake CPUs. So unless AMD does something, Raptor Lake prices will more or less stay where they are.

I'm tempted to jump on this as a i5-12400T upgrade, because I don't see prices going down.
Not quite confirmed true - desktop version is coming next year, they haven't announced socketed vs alternatives (cpu coupled to a mainboard?)

Considering hopping on this, currently running a Ryzen 7 2700X, thoughts?
No brainer if you plan on upgrading. Best bang for the buck at this moment

Be careful Amazon turning scummy. I was going buy a new mobo and they just added language if you open it no returns. They also started to charge to return to ups a few months back. No price renewal for me and Amazon no more reliable shipping either. Down the tubes.

Check out new term for this processor.

Amazon.com Return Policy:You may return any new computer purchased from Amazon.com that is "dead on arrival," arrives in damaged condition, or is still in unopened boxes, for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Amazon.com reserves the right to test "dead on arrival" returns and impose a customer fee equal to 15 percent of the product sales price if the customer misrepresents the condition of the product. Any returned computer that is damaged through customer misuse, is missing parts, or is in unsellable condition due to customer tampering will result in the customer being charged a higher restocking fee based on the condition of the product. Amazon.com will not accept returns of any desktop or notebook computer more than 30 days after you receive the shipment. New, used, and refurbished products purchased from Marketplace vendors are subject to the returns policy of the individual vendor.

Do you need to call? How do you price match on Amazon?
