When is this CPU getting released? All these leaks are getting silly, I wish Intel would just get those reviews out now...
These leaks are because Intel is not ready. They are leaking stuff like this to keep people from buying AMD and make them wait.
Intel are having supply issues.

None of the dates have changed.....
I would have expected it to be faster than that actually.
I mean it SHOULD be, my stock 2700X @3.7Ghz all core hits 1842 on the stock cooler.
I'm not sure then if the score is fake, or if the 9900k isn't actually that impressive.
It's "only" an 8 core CPU. No more or less than Ryzen.
I think after all of these years people are finally beginning to realise you don't need a top end CPU for gaming.
It depends on your GPU, the resolution you are playing at and the game in question. The 2080 ti shows signs of being CPU bound at resolutions up to 3440x1440 while using a 8086k@5GHz for quite a few games. Some of the benchmarks at 4K look to be CPU bound as well.
The problem is, are these 9th gen Intel CPUs going to be any better gaming wise compared to 8th gen Intel CPUs? :\
Well even if we are, 6c/6t is plenty and as such the current i5 will perform as well as the 9900K as long as it's overclocked. Games are only CPU limited if they don't multithread well. Only exception to that rule is, as far as I know, ashes of the singularity and that's closer to a benchmark.I may have considered one down the road but seeing that price just cracked me up. AMD isn't as cocky.
I have heard reviewers say we're CPU limited with the RTX cards, but also say many that didn't say it. We may get there but not right now, I think.
Yes but if it's only scoring 280ish more than my STOCK 2700X when the 9900K is OC'd to 5Ghz all core, you should see the problem.
I'm pretty confident when my thermal grizzly kryonaut arrives tomorrow and I slap my 280mm AIO on it I can OC up to 4.2Ghz all core and get pretty close to a 2000 score.
