Got in on this CPU when it first came out and paid like $500 for the CPU plus Asrock Z890I m-ITX board using Microcenter combo deal. Since I do not play game, this CPU has been awesome as an everyday office/muti-media/ professional PC. Actually it's a bit over killed for my need because my CPU usage narely got above 5% ! I don't even need a buy a dGPU because the iGPU is very capable at performing all of my needed tasks. I believe it's the most powerful iGPU that Intel has ever put in a desktop chip at launch. A big bonus is the low power consumption and cool running. It sips around 8w-25w for my usage. Temp is around low 40s using a single Phantek T30 + ID Cooling IS67 ST to air cool this chip. I set the motherboard to silent mode and the I can barely hear any noise from the 3 spinning fans in my NZXT-H1V2 case. Highly recommend this CPU if you are not a gamer!

I should've waited two months dang it. I bought mine for $300 at bestbuy on a price match from Microcenter. I guess I'll check if my credit card has that price protection perk.

Pretty good deal if you've got one of the Amex/Amazon offers for 30%/40%/50% off, up to $30/$60/$80. Can get price as low as $180.

Yes. Most people get 10% off $100.I had 50% off up to $80 off $160 in the past. I recently got the 30% off $100.

It's not an Amex offer. You activate the offer on Amazon.com and then use some points at checkout for the offer to work. I got 10% off up to $10 on mine and wife's account. There's a SD post about it.

Pretty funny how the roles switched between AMD and Intel. Intel use to be king of gaming and AMD best value for performance. Now it switched
