Ah, fair enough, maybe it isn't up on retail yet but Intel advised they are doing bundles, a bit like back in the RAMBUS days, not sure how much kick back you'll be getting if they offer them in the UK.

Its a bit different from the Rambus days though, I have several DDR5 samples in house and most memory manufacturers will have DDR5 available, mostly based in Micron IC but availability should be ok. Whereas on the Rambus side there was very little availability so the whole bundling was really the only way, I still remember my Abit TH7-II.
Also plenty of DDR4 options as well, the move to DDR5 does not yield really any improvement in our testing but at the same time were comparing against the best DDR4 to very early 4800MHz DDR5 and the DDR5 will of course stretch its legs more and more, were working on hopefully getting some 5000MHz plus kit in for launch but as the saying goes, there is simply not enough time at present to try and sort everything out, so we shall on that one.
Any idea on DDR5 pricing yet compared to the binned DDR4Its a bit different from the Rambus days though, I have several DDR5 samples in house and most memory manufacturers will have DDR5 available, mostly based in Micron IC but availability should be ok.

The 32GB kits I've seen are roughly double the cost of an entry level DDR4 3200 kit, no idea what the lines of OCUK will be charging at retail.
Rambus! That takes me back…are we getting old? :/

How is overclocking? We see lots of manufacturers every week bragging they've got their kit at 8000mhz+ but they don't mention how easy that is, is every DDR5 sample doing 8000mhz cl50 or is it rare?
Seem a listing for a DDR5 board and that was pricy. TBH a few shops seem to do this on the release of new hardware. It’s like they are signalling to each other to bump the prices.
Good thing the CPUs perform the same with DDR4 according to Gibbo so no need to shell out on DDR5.
With very high end DDR4. And we are talking 8pack very high end levels.
Yeah but nothing stopping you from sticking a cheap set in and losing a couple of % performance as you would Zen or any other platform.
Or losing a lot of percentages and beta testing thread director. Nothing is stopping *you* doing that. It might stop other people though.

Since many of you love CB so much...
And so what? 
A result in the same ballpark as the Ryzen 9 5950X but for much more money. Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake 'QS' 16 Core CPU Selling For $1250 US, B660 Motherboard For $1150 US In China (wccftech.com)

This guy said that it was running at 4,9Ghz on B660 without TVB
12900K at 4,9Ghz scores 768 single thread in cinebench R20
5950X scores at best 648 at stock 4,9Ghz boost
so 12900K has 18,5% higher IPC compared to Zen3.
12900K should score 830 at 5,3Ghz

Pretty much exactly the same score as the 5950X.

@Robert896r1 , I think it was you that alerted people early on to Rocket Lake latency issues, how AL looking for you so far?
Nice single core score, but I suppose in respect to multicore, seen it been there for a year.
