I know some people like AMD recently, but Intel ultra 265kf is still a great CPU IMO, especially at this price.
The intel 265K is available for $468.23 in Amazon as well. (Expired)
Thanks @MegaBytePanda, it should qualify for the Intel deal Dying Light: The Beast + Civ VII
Because this price is the higher priced than a godly AMD 7800X3D or almost similarly priced as a 9800X3D. Intel just isn't competitive even now in 2025.
