IDK if I was expecting Intel to raise prices this gen considering the new architecture and all the other improvements that are supposed to come with Arrow Lake, but regardless, the pricing on these seems pretty good to me. ...Without VAT, of course.
Just gotta wait to see how much they'll cost in the US, I guess. The US pricing will likely be much closer to the without-VAT value. (Yes, I'm
kinda considering building a whole new system as a pet project, though I probably won't go through with that since it'd be a massive unnecessary expense)
