I am looking at the second hand market and Intels processors no longer sell at such a high price as they used to, because of AMD bringing competition the market.
What would be some decent deals nowadays?

Non K is this because of power consumption or another factor?
There a bit cursed but erying on AliExpress sells laptop chips solderd onto desktop motherboards some of their 11th generation engineering sample chips are of good value and have modern single core performance.
Alternatively you can get very high core count xeons which offer great multithread performance at low price although lack in single core. There is a 2690 v4 14 cores 28 threads on a motherboard with 16 GB of ram for 94 USD+ tax and shipping.
Although depending on the benchmark the 2690 v4 doesn’t even look good in multi core
