3600 was under $100 back then? wth? how?

1600 was only sub $100 for a short time.

3600 was around 100 when 10400 released I guess

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

My 3600 was around $135 USD (it got cheaper) and 5600 was $95 USD.

it absolutely never was, the real bottom for 3600 was $160 ish and then the pandemic and 5000-series hit and prices went up like crazy.

he is thinking of 1600AF for sure

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe he meant it as a ballpark price idk pcpp pricing history shows at 130 and 120 lowest point in 2022. 100 just recently in 2023 I don’t think he’s referring to that

My 2600x i got was £65 lol

3600 was $150 regularly at microcenter. Later, the 5k/5600x came out, was in short supply, and the hype from the better performing 5k series got the prices on 3k to go up lol. Soon after, the 3600 went back up to $200.

I ended up doing a bunch of 9700k builds because they were on sale for $200 at MC. Better for gaming than the 3k series.

AMD re-released the 3600 in a boxed WoF configuration (100-100000031AWOF), that one dipped below $100 when on sale, and permanently in late 2022.
