That said, we still need to take this listing with a grain of salt, as there's a chance Micro Center's pricing is specific to its stores. When other US-based retailers (like Newegg) unveil pricing before the 14900KS debut, we'll know whether or not Micro Center's price is indeed the MSRP.

Micro Center CPU pricing tends not to follow MSRP, so there’s a chance this pricing is specific to their stores… but they’re almost always under MSRP. Micro Center is (in)famous for using in-store only CPU deals to get people in the door where they (hopefully) buy more profitable things.

I’m not in the market for a chip like that, but I hope that’s the MSRP and doesn’t reflect the in-store markdown? That would square with other prices, and the alternative would be wild.
