Looking at lowest prices in Germany - 7800XT at 550€ vs 4070 at 600€.
Wait, what? AM5 CPUs start at 200. LGA1700 has 6 P-core CPUs starting at 150. Remember the time where there was stagnation and high-end i7-s were not worth their price (330)? And high-end CPU today goes for well over 700.
AM5 motherboards basically start at 100. To get a midrange board with good set of features it is essentially 250-300. Even AM4 had good boards at 150. LGA1700 is a bit better but not by much, starting at 70-80 and midrange board with good features is 200.
Memory prices are OK but have not really gone down, it is just that DDR5 has reached a better place in its life cycle.
SSDs are currently relatively cheap but industry news are saying this is not going to last.
