No, it's the lowest because it's not the current generation.

While I do believe AMD still on the lead, I'm not so sure about the zen3 pricing. $450 US in the 5800x against $380 on 10700k will be a tight race...

The chip is two years old and overpriced to begin with. This should've been the launch price.

Even the i9 9900k at Micro center is going for almost 50% off. https://www.microcenter.com/product/512 ... 78.9455954

Micro Center is the Canada Computers of USA, only 10 times larger. No idea but their pricing has always been historically better.

I mean even their own i7 9700k is currently $200 USD over there. https://www.microcenter.com/product/512 ... -processor

Pay more get better service. LOL It's not hard to figure it out. If you know what you are doing you don't need return policies.
