Why is it weird? The i7 8700K was 399€ at launch, so the extra cost of this one doesn't look out of place.

Sure, for an i9 it's cheap, but then this is supposed to be a mid range chip and won't have as many PCI lanes as their bigger brothers.

I don't get all the fuss about lanes. It has full 16 for the GPU and the rest can be done over the main board. I doubt this has much of a performance factor.

And me neither, as long as you only have one GPU.

But why did you said it was kinda weird?
