The top i7 generally open around $1000 a piece and can stand there for years. Noting this might change a bit with Ryzen entering the competition on the high end

Even if Apple is getting some bulk discount for buying 10000 CPU, I have troubles imagining 50% off. Intel is known for enjoying their margin, not for giving steep discount.
- sudosysgen 6y agoExcept Apple doesn't buy 10000 CPUs, they buy 10 000 000 CPUs. If they were paying even 50% of list price, Intel's revenue coming from Apple would be much higher than what it is right now. Also, laptop CPUs are priced very differently from desktop CPUs.
