$238 for the Century model that fits newer Mazda's with start-stop (Q85 EFB) is a fantastic deal, they rarely go on deep sale. Thanks OP!

Don't understand this logic, by the same token AMD has only been able to match a 7.5 year old 4930k with 3600 but for $50-$100 more?

Soothsayer replied to brimmy11 on Intel Core i5 10400F [6 Cores, 12 Threads] $199 + Delivery @ Mwave
This can also be upgraded to a better 10th Gen or 11th Gen CPU as well though, don't see the benefit of 2600 for that.

That Amazon link is also a US shipped listing, though the voltage is compatible it will come with a US plug you need to use a converter for.
