Any Recent Buyers of the 8700K Feeling Buyer's Remorse?

Hi,

Just interested if anyone who purchased an 8700K recently are feeling some remorse given the release of the new Ryzen chips?

 

[jwilliamson47]

Both are great so there is nothing to regret for you

Oh, I'm really happy with mine, just wondering other people's thoughts haha.

I just hope Intel use Solder on their 8-core chip.

Not a chance.

lol i thought so.

Guessing the companies offering delidding services are doing well.

I don't see why there would be any buyersre4morse buying the 8700k.

It's still give or take the fastest gaming CPU in this price bracket.

Yep, and especially good for high refresh rate gaming.

why would you have remorse at having a faster gaming cpu which will remain faster for the whole period of owning the pc with it in ? seems trolly to me.

Not a troll post at all, was interested if the same socket, soldered instead of TIM and competitive performance made anyone consider their purchase choice. I own an 8700K and perfectly happy with it.

Agreed, the competition has helped produce excellent chips on both sides and upped the core count.
