With the 8th Gen Intel CPUs coming out, I'm looking to buy one of the 7th generation i7 7700ks to make a "fast-enough-for-me" build. (Upgrading from Athlon X2...ehem...) I'm wondering how fast prices typically erode on chips when they are superseded by next generations. I've found examples for $279, which seems like a decent deal, but I wonder if this Thanksgiving's builder sale will mark down the 8th Gen chips and close out the 7th gen.
Is there a typical pattern of discount and sunsetting for preceding generations of CPUs?
Buy now or wait a month or two? (not past Christmas for sure).
