Question about Intel Core i7-8700K

Here is a hint why the CPU is so expensive: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Coffee-Lak...

I meant 350 instead of 450... I made a mistake. And this practice no longer has anything to do with supply and demand. As a consumer, I don't want to (and shouldn't) be lied to.

I generally wanted to buy one too, but the promotion seems to have just ended. Too bad 01.10.2018 is not yet over.

Indeed, the enormous price differences within a few days are very disturbing. By the way, this peculiarity can also be seen with other products that you observe in the watch list over a longer period of time. I suspect that the shop's "price algorithm" is connected to the warehouse in Wohlen and that this is how the minimal to high fluctuations occur. For the purchase of individual products, this is certainly advantageous for the customer, but for mass orders (e.g. a new PC), you are more likely to be left out in the cold.

It is not Digitec that must be held responsible. The problem comes from Intel, which cannot deliver 14-nanometre engraving and the game of supply and demand.

Or Digitec does what it wants, since people seem to buy it anyway (:

There is probably a shortage at the moment, as many have been sold. In that case, just wait a bit or go for a similar model. The price will come down again at some point.
