Yep. And there was promise that prices would start to come down with AMD getting competitive on CPUs again. What ended up happening was Intel and AMD started increasing power consumption on CPUs to get even more clocks, and higher power draw means higher quality components. Then with the supply issues (even motherboards have on board chips) due to Pandemic price gouging became the norm, and Everyone was okay with it

And when people ask "Why is random thing high priced!?!" all you get is "Have you been living under a rock for 3 years!?!"

Like, dude, shit shouldn't STAY doubled in price just because companies want to keep their stock price up.
