I think you missed some in this sentence, no?:

The i9-9900K will cost $488, with the i7-9700K costing $374 (a decrease of $114 over the) and the i5-9600K will cost $262 (a $114 reduction over the i7). t this time UK pricing remains unknown.

9900K is priced at £599, I laughed a little when I saw the price, Intel are having a laugh with UK pricing.

I hate UK pricing... oh it's 500 dollars = £500... oh it's €500 = £500 it's absolute BS taxes etc. aside even

And here I sit reading this and while I am impressed I'd still go first gen Threadripper if I wanted to upgrade.

But I'll happily game and use my i7-4790k for a good bit longer since even the 8700k doesn't offer me enough to upgrade...and this i9 stuff is a bit to rich for me (again for that money I'd go threadripper).

14nm++ lmao.

Same here, but with the 4770K and I'm rather waiting for DDR5 to show up on the horizon.

I feel like even though im sitting on a golden sample 7700k chip, its the sandy bridge phenomenon over again. Where I will be holding on to my CPU year after year waiting for something to come along that WOWS me but falls short every time.

What I find funny is that these don't have any silicon level spectre or meltdown protection so will again have to rely on software patches and microcode updates.


You'd think they'd have put it in seeing as they've known about them for quite some time now.

Well it is Intel we’re talking about after all...
