Core 9000 series

Doop! · 9 Oct 2018 at 13:54

I've got a Z370 board now. I was planning on upgrading to an 8 core at some point in the future but it looks like it will be cheaper to wait a few months and buy a whole new AMD board and a Ryzen 3700x for less money than the 9900k on its own.

wow i'm even seeing Americans saying that the $488 MSRP price is too much, that's nothing compared to the price here haha

On another forum when I wrote in UK the 9900K goes for $785 many still laughing.

One of the biggest jokes has to be the stupid "Roll of Honour" threads in the GPU forums, I mean Jebus WHAT, WHAT WHAT!!! you bought a computer component big ******* whoop why do we need a photo of it? It just perpetuates the competitive nature that some forums bring out, and makes people waste money unnecessarily. That's my 2p on the matter, people can obviously do what they like and I don't expect most people to agree with me.

Yeah that's weird.

I did get a 2080Ti but didn't join the ROH

I don't see anything weird with it: you're happy you've got a new toy and you want so share it with somebody. Sometimes people don't have any friends who share this hobby.

Uh hu... what is wrong with calling it "Insert GPU type here, owners list." since there the word honour has nothing to do with spending money, unless it's giving to charity maybe.

You will probably have to wait for the OP to stop laughing first.

It's just a name a random guy decided because it sounded fun, I think you're reading too much into it o.o

Steve retested and confirmed the dodgy intel benches were running the 2700x as a quad core. Unbelievable.

Snide INTEL tactics, who'd have "thunk" it?

Yes because when your on the internet the choice of words you use loses all meaning right? Let me guess, you happen to be very proud of your place on the "Roll of 'insert any random word here'"

Came in to post the same link, yup, he confirmed that with 4 cores disabled in game mode that the performance broadly speaking matches the INtel numbers.

So Intel's new 5Ghz 8 core is only up to 50% faster than a 2700x using 4 cores? So.... we can say the 9900k would only actually match a 6 core Ryzen using that logic

This is very disappointing, it completely dampens my interest. It makes you wonder what else they've been manipulating.

Roflmao....
After z370 boards are patched to support 9900k on the benchmarks, I bet your post will be true. ..

BTW what happened to gavin and some other Intel supporters. Suddenly they disappeared since yesterday.

It seems you've gone from caring, to just happily winding people up now.

The pricing was bad enough, but the dodgy benches take the mick.

I'll be buying Zen2 without a doubt now.

I really think you're giving more importance to it than the OP who created all those pages in that section.

just like to say on a certain tree laden website 8600k are now 242 and the 8086 is actually 393 cheaper than the 8700k..

Yup isn’t that a decent deal?

A certain competitor has a 750 package for 8700k cpu ram cooler too

Its also cheaper to buy the 9 series from the American forest and pay the tax & import costs yourself then it is to buy it from UK retailers. Absolutely ridiculous situation.

I agree. Things are generally cheaper in the US, but usually once you put shipping and VAT onto it, it pretty much equals out.
