At that price it's a no-brainer.
Wow, didn't know that! My 24-year old son just bought a new rig from CyberPower PC that cost $5,300 with its Intel Core i9-12900KS costing around $750. I knew that some microcontrollers are going for $0.10, but a hyperthreaded processor for $20?!! Incredible! I am feeling SO old, remembering my first 128-baud modem from the early 80s.
