Never what the people can afford but what the market demands. What a farce of a system this is.

You mean the 'current market dynamic' of greedflation? Well, have fun not selling anything 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the case of the 270K Plus, it's now $339 to $349, with its smaller sibling now $219 to $229.

That's a minimum increase of $40 and $20, respectively, and while it's not a huge leap in the grand scheme of things, a 13%/10% rise isn't merely pennies, either.

That is just a $10 increase each, no? Not ideal, but probably not worth writing an article over.

Cpus should start going on sale as they get older, not get more expensive.

There must be a typo somewhere, because the math doesn't seem to work out for me.
