Maybe they will drop the price of the unlocked i7 to separate it a bit more from the 5820k?

Aftermarket coolers are not to pricy and most who go for a k version is rarely using the stock cooler anyway

5820K costs 400€ , while the 4790K sits around 300-350€

Considering the higher cost of the X99 platform, 6700K won't be cheaper than its predecessor since there's still a good gap between the two platforms

Based on that box art I expect to be propelled to ludicrous speed upon opening the box !!!! ^_^

It's a box.

A German retailer offers the 6700K for 375 euro and the 6600K for 261. I hope that these are overpriced pre-release prices.
