To make it worse, they switched up the OEM model numbers to be unique so you can't tell for sure that the $300 dell cpu upgrade is really only switching out a $100 for a $250 one.
- sfont 10y agoIf you're not familiar with http://ark.intel.com http://ark.intel.com it lists all the specs and the recommended price. Picked a random Dell and see they are charging $66.30 to upgrade from a $117 i3 to a $192 i5. I'm not sure where the unique SKU idea comes from. They've always had some chips that are retail packaged and others that are only available in trays for OEMs.
