CPU Price Weirdness

[wstrohm]

At Amazon, the current price of an Intel i7 12700F is $290, and the price of an i7 12700KF is $210. Why? And is there any way the "K" version can be user-locked to hold its power usage (125W) down to 65W like the non-K? (Note: Amazon is showing 190W for the non-K, which is incorrect. PL1=65W, PL2=180W for the non-K version.)

The so-called "Limited Time Deal". Too many in stock maybe?

Also think ‘Supply & Demand’. Too many in stock with no demand, drop the price while still making a profit to drive up demand. Price goes up as demand increases.

Common practice for any shopkeeper/merchant.
