Computer Processor Price: What Determines the Cost
The price of a computer processor depends on its generation, core count, clock speed, cache size and the platform it is built into. A processor sold alone costs less than the same chip inside a complete system. For a complete Thinvent system, the price is set by the processor, memory, storage, operating system and included accessories.
