We're talking about CPUs. Profit margins on such hardware parts are typically single digit; selling a CPU $402 rather than $399 happens all the time.

- colejohnson66 6y agoI’m interested now: why?
- hocuspocus 6y agoI'm not sure to understand what you're asking. Resellers have very low margins on core parts like CPU, GPU, memory, mainboards. They make money elsewhere. That's why you don't really see bullshit pricing like 199.99 when you buy a CPU. For instance the last CPU I bought was 193.42.
- smabie 6y agoYeah, a 3900x on Newegg is going for exactly $431.
