Newegg Commerce, Inc., a leading global e-commerce company specializing in computers and consumer electronics, today announced that its CPU Trade-In program is now live on Newegg.com. As the latest addition to the GPU Trade-In program launched last year, Newegg's CPU Trade-In program enables customers to trade their used CPUs in exchange for credit toward an entirely new CPU from Newegg.

About the CPU Trade-In Program
A CPU, often referred to as the brain of a computer, enables PCs to process data and operations. When new units become available, users frequently opt to upgrade their system's CPU with newer, faster models capable of accommodating increasingly sophisticated software and programs. Newegg's trade-in program allows customers to trade in their existing aged CPUs for credit toward a new CPU.




The goal of the program is to help customers obtain current generation hardware for gaming, creating, or professional uses. Newegg's Trade-In program is unique in that customers can see the trade-in offer upfront, purchase the new product, then subsequently send in their old hardware so they are never without a CPU or GPU in their desktop PC.

Newegg has already seen success with its similar GPU Trade-In Program, which launched in September 2023. To date, thousands of eligible pre-owned graphics cards have been traded in to be re-purposed for installation into other customers' desktop PCs through the GPU Trade-In Program.

CPU Trade-In joins GPU Trade-In as an integral part of Newegg Refreshed, a refurbishment program that offers pre-owned products at competitive prices which not only generates customer satisfaction but also yields environmental benefits in re-purposing pre-owned hardware for reuse by other customers, thereby reducing electronic waste.

"Considering how crucial both the CPU and GPU are to desktop PCs, we think it's a great initiative to offer customers the ability to trade in their existing components to get credit toward brand new products," said Ken Tu, Senior Category Manager at Newegg. "We've built a process that allows customers to safely and seamlessly trade in their components for newer versions and are excited to expand it with desktop CPUs."

CPU Trade-In Process
Customers who are interested in trading in their CPU can visit the CPU product page on Newegg to check eligibility and trade-in value. Once a trade-in application is submitted and approved, a free shipping label will be provided to ship the CPU to Newegg for evaluation. If the trade is accepted, the customer will receive a refund on their new CPU purchase. If the CPU trade is rejected, customers will get the CPU they sent back from Newegg free of charge. More details on the CPU Trade-In Program can be found here.

PC Trade-In Program with Intel
In addition to the new CPU Trade-In program, Newegg has also collaborated with Intel to allow customers to trade in qualifying PCs for a Newegg gift card valued up to $400 when purchasing a qualified new PC with an Intel processor from Newegg now through August 11, 2024. Eligible PCs for trade-in must be no older than 7 years from the original manufacture date and includes: desktops, laptops, 2-in-1 convertibles, detachables, MacBooks, iPads, and Chromebooks. The full PC trade-in criteria can be found here.

"New gaming PCs powered by Intel Core 14th Gen processors include a suite of advanced tools and technologies enabling experiences that gamers are looking for," said Ozlem Coday, general manager of client channel, ecosystem and graphics at Intel. "We look forward to seeing gamers take advantage of this trade in offer."

Seems like a sleazy way to get rid of faulty CPUs while letting retailers take the fall.

If you look at this another way it is a way for them to get rid of 13th and 14th Gen systems and have people buy new CPUs. They will probably be very aggressive with this when Bartlett launches. Who is willing to bet that Bartlett will release earlier than expected to try to change the narrative?

I suppose it could be a more hassle free way of updating a 3600X to a 5700X3D or 5800X3D. I'm sure they'll give you squat for it, but it alleviates needing to mess with marketplace or ebay.

Is this a way for Chinese Newegg to get used chips into China, getting around import restrictions and tariffs?

This is a CPU program. China needs primarily GPUs and similar accelerators.

Software A lot.
Benchmark Scores Its fast. Enough.
They gotta do something to make money. Offloading a lot of their warehouse to small sellers has helped and hurt.


I bout a NVMe dri e that the seller obviously didn't have and then it ended up being ordered from Amazon and shipped to me, and it had a heatsink I had to remove, then the seller asked for a review and was angry that I said I ordered a NVMe without the heatsink as my board has a far larger one....

Newegg is becoming tigredirect.

literally the first thing I thought of when seeing the headline :laugh:

I will continue to donate. I have a cycle of new hardware going in to my main system--> move to living room pc--> donate to friends and family that don't have the means to be building computers. I get far more value out of helping, than whatever New Egg is going to insult me with.

With GPUs this makes sense, but CPUs not really.

It is literally one of the few parts I would tell anyone not to be afraid of buying/selling used.
So long as it wasn't abused to hell or has bent pins etc, it's totally fine (excluding 13/14 gen Intel).

Also a good way to cherry pick for silicon lottery if you can get info etc.

This is to shift Intel stock, no AMD CPUs need apply. Loads of Intel co-branding on the trade-in page. Also this:

God, fucking Funcoland. I used to LOVE getting those giant newspaper-esque papers with all the games and consoles telling you what games they had. Good times.

This isnt worth it. The only way this would be worthwhile is if they accepted all modern CPU's and it wasnt specific to Newegg.

Perfect for all Intel customers with a 13th and 14th gen CPU that is or will degrade and be useless in another 2 years.

Ah, I see it's a con. They want you to actually buy an Intel only system from them, already containing a faulty Intel CPU that will degrade unless you're a techy person who knows about the Intel problems and set it up to run on reduced power until the BIOS fixes get released! Then the vast majority of these systems will never see a BIOS update. WTF?

Well some new details. They are only accepting Intel 12-14th CPUs and AMD 7000 chips. It would seem the max is $300 for Intel and $200 for AMD. When you think about it is a huge advantage for AMD as that MB will still work with your new 9000 chip. I can also see the Intel users worrying about their chips being replaced with the same. Unless Intel brings in the launch date of Bartlett.

Where are you getting this from?

Their site says...
1.) To take part in this promotion, you'll need to have purchased a qualifying PC with an Intel processor from Newegg between July 1, 2024 - August 11, 2024
2.) To be eligible for a reward, your PC must meet the following criteria:
  • Any functioning PC (limited to desktops, laptops, 2-in-1, convertibles, detachables, MacBooks, iPads, and Chromebooks)
  • No older than seven (7) years from the manufacturing date
  • Must power on
  • Undamaged (reasonable wear and tear accepted)
  • Complete with its power supply and charger
  • All data and information deleted from the device
It's also an Intel sponsored promotion. Newegg itself seems to be sponsored by Intel. No AMD offers/promotions on the home page at all. It's just Intel, and it's logo everywhere! ;)

But what I posted is on Neweggs own site, right now?

Update: It seems the link in the OP is wrong... That's what caused my confusion

@TheLostSwede - The CPU Deal link should be: THIS

And Newegg say: We are only accepting the listed pin-less CPUs at the moment. Which means they accept the entire desktop Ryzen 7xx0 range.

What I find amusing is that the Intel's (despite all the 13th and 14th gen chips being possibly worthless right now) are worth more than the AMD chips, including the x3D models! :wtf:

Just shows you how the industry is still skewed to favour Intel. Just look at what MSI are doing.
