    I know there’s always some “price is no object” buyers, but it’s weird to me when the motherboard is more than twice the price of the most expensive CPU that can go into it.

    Really, think of all the incredibly expensive R&D, the amazing lithography technology, and the clean room production needed for a CPU.

    Then compare that with what goes into laying some traces, installing some pre-made voltage regulators and ICs on a motherboard and basically buying a BIOS and tweaking it, then selling that board for more than twice the price of the CPU. That’s absurd to me.
