The top core i9 costs 2k$ on amazon. The top ryzen cost $799. So, they are cheaper than Xeon, but not cheaper than equivalent AMD's processor.

You should compare the top i9 with threadripper 1950X, which is more expensive, but still less expensive than an i9.

That's literally what the OP did. A 1950X is only $799 now, so less than half a top end i9.

That's extremely recent. It was more like $900 a day or two ago: https://camelcamelcamel.com/AMD-Threadripper-32-thread-Proce...

And it is still $960 on Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681911...

The grandparent comment is not claiming that $2k is under $800, but instead that Intel would be able to charge a higher price for the i9 if the TR was not on the market.
