Comet Lake-S processors plummet in price ahead of Rocket Lake-S launch

Great news for those buyers looking for a powerful computer on a tight budget. Intel has decided to quickly sell out older 10th Gen Core processors. And we are talking about at least 20% discount. True, only in American stores.

 

Comet Lake-S processors plummet in price

 

The event is quite expected. Since Intel always sells the leftovers of old hardware in order to invest the earned money in its business and increase turnover. Following this pattern, the brand No. 1 in the production of cool computer hardware has not allowed competitors to Olympus for several decades. But in order to do so - reduce prices up to 20-30%. This is nonsense.

The unpleasant moment is that most of the sellers did not react in any way to such a decrease in prices from the manufacturer. It is clear that the spare parts were purchased with the expectation of making money, and not giving them away at cost. But this is a short-term phenomenon. Since the release of Rocket Lake-S processors, there are many attractive offers in the secondary market.

 

What the cash discount looks like for Comet Lake-S processors

 

An indicator of 20-30% is great. But it is convenient for everyone to see the picture in money. If you go through the most popular processors, it looks something like this:

 

• Core i9-10900K cost $ 490, dropped to $ 400 (20% discount).
• The Intel Core i7-10700K was $375 now $250 (33% price reduction).
• Core i5-10600K was $ 260, dropped to $ 190 (25% off).

An incomprehensible situation is only with budget Intel Core i3 processors. Some of them did not receive a discount, and the Core i3-10100(F) crystal strangely went up by 10%. But these are trifles. Who needs that Core i3 if you can buy a 5th generation Core i10 processor for a small surcharge. And if you push it a little more...
