Remember folks, those costs are for 1000-unit bulk orders, retailers will add their own fees for going through the work of selling them to us, the individual costs will be higher.
Especially higher for those who desire them the first day they are available.
I say plan for at least 10% higher those quoted prices instead of BMS’ing about price gouging that isn’t happening.

Looking forward to that launch. No, I won’t upgrade, not until prices comes down. Cpu: $300, motherboard $200-$300 and three channel ram? Another $200 easily.
Until I see more benchmarks that could convince me to upgrade, I won’t.
