I ordered an XPS 8950 on November 30 2021. I just went and priced an identical 8950 and it was $100 (USA) cheaper. Not much of a difference considering that I ordered the first day it was available on the Dell site. The "K" series processors are still available in the customizable options. At first a person could only order the 8950 with a "K" series CPU as the non-K chips were not offered yet.
Did the price change in the past 30 days significantly?  I should have printed out the specs last month.  I configured a modest system with the standard GPU and only 64Gb of RAM.  It was over $4k.  It's much less than that now.  Were there CPU options in Jan that are gone now?  It's like $1k less now.
