I think there is an error our end or an error at the competitor, I have checked in our system and our cost is above the competitors by quite some distance, it is also odd how said competitor has launched all Asrock with a discount, so seems they maybe made an error, or we have the wrong cost, but our cost us a UK supplier so no mix up between USD and GBP.

You also need to look at the US/EU competitors too, I was told directly by ASRock through my IPC contact that it would be $249 weeks ago, so somewhere something went wrong on your end. :)

No hardware unboxed said AMD was now king, until Intel drop the prices, watch the video till the end :)

In their video the 9900k still wins in pretty much all the games they tested. Unless a few quid matters not sure why you would get the 3900x over a 9900k for gaming. All rounder though it’s nice.

I imagine we can expect some platform maturity and OS updates (Scheduling etc) as time goes on so the Zen2 would be the right choice going forward rather than the 9900k which has likely seen all of it's maturity with nowhere to go.
