Hi, I've been looking for a processor for my first computer build, and the i5-3470 seems like a good deal. It is the same price as the i5-3450, but it is clocked .1 GHz higher.
My first question is, why can't I find it anywhere? A google and newegg search brings up no actual results to buy. It is listed on intel's website, but aside from that, it's like it mysteriously disappeared.
Another question: What is the difference between the i5-3450 and the i5-3470? They are technically listed at the same price, but the 3470 is noticeably better. Who would buy the 3450 then?
Finally, on websites like Anandtech, although it says the 3450 and 3470 are $184 (which i'm assuming is the MSRP), the 3450 on newegg and amazon is priced at $199. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116506. I'm just wondering why these cpus are so overpriced.
Sorry about all the questions, I'm just a new, curious pc builder!
