>>You could get a whole portable PC for same money. Not with the same performance you cant... Not even close >>The inflation has really hit the consumer market... 700$ for CPU and over thousand for GPU... $700 for the Top of the line CPU is actually low, at the highest of intel monopoly period they were charging well in excess of $1000 (closer to $1700 if I remember) for their I7 K line enthusiast PC's.. Even today $700 is cheap compared to the Threadripper line AMD seems to have given up on.
