£200 for the 10600k would be a high recommendation but £274, nah.
Agreed, Intel have got the pricing all wrong on these chips, even with an inferior chip they could easily compete at the right price.

Yeah the 10600k does look good but for near on £100 more than the 3600 I don't think I'd consider it... Its at the same price as the 3700x which has more cores and threads, also there is a big TDP difference in the two.
I won't be buying one no PCIe 4! what a waste. its called drip feeding.
Such a mess up by intel. So the i7 10 is similar to the 9900k and the 10900k is the last drops they can squeeze out of the architecture.
At least if it had pcie 4 it would be a considerable upgrade, now i'll wait until the 3 series cards are out and see what cpu is the best at the time.
So very disappointed in the release and the pricing both by intel and all retailers.
Dead on arrival

Zen 3 will wipe Intel out on all fronts.
Ryzen's not that much better, it's slower in gaming that Intel's 5 year old Skylake architecture. Both vendors are equally pathetic - AMD for not being able to beat 14nm Skylake garbage in gaming, and Intel for being stuck on 14nm/Skylake.
Now is a bad time to buy a CPU, wait for Intel's proper next gen (Rocket and Alder lake), these have a 15-20% IPC improvement and will be the leap forward in gaming performance many care about.

Since a lot of people here are generally confused on the different power related terms and intel, this should answer a lot of questions:

The games Digital Foundry tested again seem to show the biggest advantage to Intel right now.Zen 2 beats Skylake most of the time now so that's a weird argument and a lot do more than just game. You must work for Intel to know they will have a 15-20% IPC improvement too.
I bought a 3900X and am very happy with it for gaming and everything else I use it for. I don't care that I get 80fps instead of 86 in one game and 120 instead of 125 in another.
