So AMD is having the best time of their life?
Also is it me or the price increase is relative to sale volume? look i3 8100 and i5 8400 for example vs the low volume of the i7 8086K

They seem less affected atm?
I was checking out some prices when I wrote this article, the Ryzen 7 2700X Wraith Boxed Octa (8) core I can purchase at €319,-

I think that AMD only lowering prices as time goes by, and not seems to be affected.
With the new prices that you have listed, the price gap between 8700K vs 2700X is almost 150 when adding cooler to 8700K.
Edit- just did quick check on Amazon.de/uk/Com , there is indeed big price gap between them while Amazon.com is the cheapest, moreover they sell the 8086K for 339 Euro's while amazon.de sells for 504 Euro's!.

This is ridiculous. Bringing non-K chip prices to level of "K" unlocked chips. They do not say that intel's fabs had troubles and reduced production.
So it must be demand thing. Where is this new market which wants more intel's non-K than "K" CPUs? I doubt it is someone focusing on secure computing.
To me, it looks like they are pricing it so close together based on wafer space used for production. And that intel does not give a damn about end user value.
Conspiracy theory:
- Artificially increased prices of PC components
- in 5 years decline in PC market and rise in cloud computing
- all "user" data are on cloud, and no longer yours. And subject of global evaluation.

Man being a PC enthusiast/gamer is getting more expensive by the day, first it was the RAM shortages driving prices up like crazy, then the GPU huge price hikes because of miners and now we have the CPU shortages!!!???
What´s next, MB shortages? Or maybe the lack of CPU coolers... Good thing i bought my current system before all this crap but i´m already getting cold sweats just thinking about a future system...

The nearest Microcenter to me has 10+ of all the 8k CPUs in stock (for the ones I checked). The 8400 is a little above MSRP but the others are at or below MSRP. The R7 2700X is $280.

Someone made a good point on another tech site. If this article was about AMD people would be saying AMD is 5 years behind and going bankrupt.
