Thats misleading, yes prices CAN go that much but looking at what prices acturally are going for (sorting on ebay by recently sold) it seems the price is around $400-$600. These prices are not good by any means but keep in mind when it comes to AM4 CPUs you have less expensive options that are more than good enough, the 5900XT for example goes for half the price.

Yeah the 5900xt is what I’m looking at upgrading to. I didn’t realize it was actually a 16 core, the naming really threw me off.
