Does anyone have any insight why the Ryzen 5800X3D is STILL so ridiculously expensive in SA? I mean, prices has barely come down since launch.
I see Wootware currently has the 5900X for R6999 but the 5800X3D is still super expensive at R7799. I find it odd seeing that the latter is a lower priced CPU both in MSRP and actual retail in other markets, and yet it costs way more here? How does that make sense?
I mean here is another way to explain why I think it is seriously overpriced in SA. Just before the 5800X3D came out the 5800X has been 18 months on the market and its price came down from $450 (launch MSRP) to $350 during that period. The 5800X3D has been 18 months on the market and its price has come down from $450 to $320 (which is even lower). At the same time that the 5800X cost $350 it cost "a mere" R6700 at Wootware. Hence another reason why I think the 5800X3D is currently more than R1.2k overpriced at Wootware.
Could this perhaps be setting the stage for a nice BF deal on the 5800X3D? Lol.
