Dyson vacuum phenomenon now pushing AMD CPU prices higher:
----------------------------------------In June I paid US$269 for a R7 3700X. Same vendor today is offering a flash deal on same CPU for US$294. The $50 higher MSRP prices of the new generation AMD CPUs (plus no OEM cooling fan included) is pushing current generation prices up, just like expensive new cars push used car prices higher and crazy expensive Dyson vacuum cleaners move all vacuum cleaner prices higher.
