One table per generation within each category — similar chips rank against their contemporaries, and categories with different pricing units (cards, CPUs, memory stacks, market indices) never share a sort. All prices are shown in USD, converted from the source currency at that observation year's average exchange rate (the underlying figure is printed under every converted price). Click any row for full specs and the dated price history; every observation links to its source.

Every observation is dated and source-linked. Also see the CPU tables, memory, and edge AI pages, or the value map and price-gap overview.
