I've seen the 8700 at £240

I think Coffeelake will be slower than Kaby in gaming.

£240 with or without VAT?

With the pound where its at by the time you have paid duty/tax/postage I doubt you will save anything.

EDIT: lol hello signal11th did wonder if that was you

Good question hold on, £237.99 with free shipping to UK

Correction: £16.22 for express delivery in 2-3 days

It's a shame they haven't got the K listed as that's what most of us here are interested in .

the I5 8600k is out of stock now at newegg so either had to pull them or they are a flying off the shelves.

They probably listed it too early. I can't believe that there is that many people interested.
I think ryzen had much more interest in that and I had no issues finding stock, it was the motherboards that were the issue there.

Doesn't @Gibbo usually chime into these threads and give an indication of what time stock goes live. I remember him doing this for recent GPU releases.

+Import duty and handling fees. Been there, done that.

All of that = too expensive

tbh I'm surprised they haven't got them listed on the website yet with the price and arrival date. Seems like it's on purpose to "build" hype.

Or they genuinely have very low stock and don't want to create huge dissapointment

It is a shame they're not here, I was able to pre-order the 4790k and from what I remember we ie: the first preorders got our 4790k first worldwide.

I'm old though so I may be having a bad memory moment

Or maybe they just can not list anything until the NDA lifts? Some people seem to be getting in a right mess over this

Gibbo has often given updates during previous product releases on when stock might be available, before the product officially launches. Anyway, we shall see if tomorrow is the real release date or not.

Not really, just find it puzzling seems like people are getting in a tizzy thinking other people are getting in a tizzy when they aren't.

With Intel releases there’s always disappointment unfortunately.

Not going to argue about it but I suggest you read the last 5 pages or so. If you don't agree fine we will Argree to disagree!

I'm interested in seeing if Ryzen has big price drops until the next revision comes in, I'd be interested in getting the 1600 then and upgrading later on while keeping motherboard and RAM. The 8700k looks like it'll be great but I'm thinking quantity will be low with it being slightly rushed n all.

Unfortunately due to sites like Reddit these days, it makes it very hard for me to leak anything, whereas in the past leaks remained within the forum and people liked the inside info, it now gets spread so to maintain our relationships with the vendors its best I simply do not give away information.

All I will say is Coffee Lake is very short, like practically zero availability of the K versions.

I forsee most who were planning an upgrade just getting a Kaby lake or Ryzen.
