CPU's aren't to badly priced at the moment. The 7000 series is roughly inline with the 5000 series in terms of pricing.

The extra massive costs was always due to Motherboards and Ram sadly.

I don't really think CPUs in general are priced badly, it's just the 7700 whose pricing I'm not fond of. It's quite far from the 7600 and relatively close to the 7800X3D in terms of price, and I feel like it should be a bit closer to the 7600 (250 € vs. 360 € vs. 435 € or so). It's quite expensive to get an 8-core CPU or better here, which is what I'd like for maximal future-proofing, if you care about power efficiency at the moment.

Ah. Euro. That mixes it up.

The 7600 is 6 cores @ 349.

The 7700  is 8 cores @ 499.

The 7800X3D is 8 cores+Lots cache @ 639.

That's Australian.

So the jump between the 7600 > 7700 > 7800 is roughly $150 here. It's not to bad.

Interesting to see how the lineup is staggered different in another region.

For me the ideal CPU is the 7950X anyway at $899.
