Can anyone give a reasonable explanation for why the Core i7-990x is still so highly priced? Especially considering the 1366 chipset is dead and the latest gen. Ivy Bridge/Haswell CPUs could run circles around it. Not to mention running more efficiently and cooler too.
I'm still running a 1366 system and have always thought it would be awesome to upgrade to an out-of-date extreme CPU. So I periodically check prices and even today, they still go for like $5-600, used! Seems kind of ridiculous to me but maybe I'm out of line in that thinking. Just curious if anyone else has any feedback on this. Thanks.
