Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs were released with a range of new features including a new architecture that uses efficiency and performance cores, not to mention support for DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5. Intel has been slashing prices of its CPUs and now you can buy the 12th gen Alder Lake CPUs for 10% lower than MSRP.
The sale of PC parts has been sluggish these past couple of weeks and according to digitimes Intel has been cutting prices in order to push its products. This is something that we rarely see from Intel but it seems that AMD has been giving team blue a lot of tough time in the CPU market and the reduced demand from OEMs has forced Intel to make some hard decisions.
These price cuts are great for consumers that have been on the fence about upgrading. As these prices come down, these CPUs become better value for money. We have included links to some of the CPUs that are now available at discounted prices if you are interested in picking them up.
