Its obviously a mistake someone added too many 0's

Nickolp1974 · 23 Oct 2015 at 16:07

price should be around the £65 mark + skylake tax = £1200 maybe not a mistake

russell664 · 23 Oct 2015 at 16:43

The price looks correct to me.

Will smash my i7 4930k all over.

Rroff · 23 Oct 2015 at 16:47

Its the new Intel pricing... better get used to it.

Radec · 23 Oct 2015 at 16:48

na, well worth it

4K gaming on an IGP.
Bargain.

There's no way a Pentium should be £120.

(It seems they enter prices ex-VAT and the website adds the VAT automatically. Somebody typed in £999 instead of £99. This is still waaaay too much for this CPU tho.)

So is £390 for the 6700k so 120 for the pentium is about right.

To put it in context, I paid £120 for my 2500k. And a Haswell Pentium was about £70.

And I paid £156.99 for my 4670k and £46 for a G3420 for the wifes pc. Skylakes pricing is just disgusting.

Yeh i paid £220 for my 4790k and the 6700k is £390 so a £170 price rise per generation so £120 for a pentium is right for skylake.

The g4400 should be around £50 inc vat. Someone will notice soon enough.

faceman123 · 24 Oct 2015 at 00:03

I thought black friday wasn't for another 5 weeks :confused:

. I'm also disappointed at the apparently special offers on ocuk such as the 4790k for £249ish I bought one at a lower price earlier this year!. I hope this isn't a bump and slash sale

Thought was some sort of dual cpu not an overpiced dual core.

I iz disappoint.

If it helps, the other Skylake pentium is the same price: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...ocket-lga1151-processor-retail-cp-593-in.html

200MHz lower but it means your overlock is 200MHz higher from the base clock!!! Such bargain!!!

That's going straight in my basket.
