OK - 1st - good times for AL fans. Intel going with an up to 20% price reduction on AL parts/chipsets to go with the massive layoffs and bonus cancellations. idk about this as it will cannibalize RL just as much if not more than hurt AMD but for someone sitting on a 4 y/o or older system it may be too much to resist - this will work out to about $120-30 savings on an i9 and about a $25 saving on a Z690 board just when plain ddr5 (w/o rgb) is about $130 for 32gb @ 6000 cl 36
