Intel's 4th gen processor codename: Haswell offers superior performance over the previous generation Ivybridge by up to 10% clock for clock. This astounding performance boost results in performance improvements in multi-tasking, encoding, gaming and multithreaded applications. Intel's 4th generation processor has improved PCI-Lane 3.0 bandwidth which helps further boost performance of latest generation 3 graphics cards for the ultimate gaming experience.

For overclocking enthusiasts, Intel's 4th gen CPU has improved memory overclocking support, with up to and beyond 3000MHz possible with the very best memory kits. Memory bandwidth is critically important to Haswell compared to previous generations. High frequency memory performance significantly improves encoding, gaming and benchmarking tasks.

The biggest leap in Intel's Haswell processor is the onboard graphics which is now up to 2.6x faster than previous HD4600 found in the Ivybridge CPU. What this means is these latest processors can actually play the latest games in HD with low/medium settings applied. Of course if you want to experience True HD gaming at maximum details then a dedicated graphics card is still a must.

The price on the 5930k is pretty incredible to be honest, a near good £50 saving. :)
 
Those discounted k series 1150 prices are where they should be really. The ~£200 market price for an i5 is a little obscene.

That is the regular price, and so far over 10,000 units sold.

Intel are merely offering this promotion simply because Skylake is in huge shortage.

Once Skylake is available again (November) these prices go back up to regular levels on November 2nd as already mentioned in the OP.
 
I don't doubt they're popular. Just £200 for an i5 is a lot - for a 4-core it doesn't fit well between the price of the 2+2 i3 and the 4+4 i7, IMO. And certainly looks a bit out of place next to the price of the locked i5s.

I suppose, in the end, things are just worth what people will pay.

Nice discounts here though :)
 
Gibbo any chance of a deal on the G3258 coming up?

Going to be buying a full build but in the next week or so?
 
Not bad prices and pretty tempted by the DC chip but since I am going to be keeping whatever I get next for at least 4/5 years, I want it to be more future proofed.

Any chance you could lower the i5 6600k to be in line with most other places i.e. £200 and maybe even lower it a bit further?

I am afraid not, stock is extremely limited and OcUK has being getting typically good stocks, hence why were still pretty much the only UK company with 6700k in stock.

Fair enough.

Any ETA on when you guys are getting the i5 6600k back in stock? One place has an ETA of 22nd October.

If stock considerably increases, will we be likely to see a decrease in prices overall in the UK?

Potentially end of next week, if not week after.

Of course if supply improves Skylake prices will come down for sure, but the shortage is severe so for first time ever on CPU's pretty much everyone is making double digit margins, including distributors and brokers, can't blame any of them considering CPU's tend to be only 1-5% margin levels for brokers, distributors and resellers.
 
£300 for a 5820k for example is not going to get me to part with my money and do a major pc upgrade, it was cheaper than this at release in summer 2014 IIRC.

All this Intel promotion has done is reduce the crazy inflation on some of their CPU prices in recent times.

I would spookily crazy to pull the trigger on a ~13 month old X99 spec right now. ;)
 
This is precisely why we need AMD to be competitive, this is what happens when one company has a virtual monopoly on the market.
Need company to be competitive > everyone sits around slandering them and wondering why others are put off lol.

I haven't taken a good look at AMD's cpu offerings myself tbh but if it's like the gpu's then they'll be a bit behind but it'll be made up by price difference anyway and people will still complain regardless.

Seriously spooky indeed, not. Raise the price for a few month(s), then slash to what is should be and claim it to be a steal, gotta love sales talk :D
