So you think a 9700k will do the job ok?
.. or 8600k?

I'm using a 8600k running games at 1440p full whack and a bit of streaming on the side.. works very well for the price point (well the original ppoint that is)

Can't really blame the retailers, this is down to Intel and their incompetence in not supplying enough chips to market, these and all the rest of coffee chips will be restrained well in to the new year so expect high prices for many months to come. AMD won't mind though.

Is this new socket type here to stay like AM4 or will Intel discontinue it in a years time?

The socket is the same since the Haswel Era. But Intel just scraps compatibility for the sake of selling chipsets,

However given that next gen is 10nm more likely new socket will be needed.

Intel can shove off then. I'm out.

Was keen to upgrade my i5-8400 to the i9-9900k but looks like I'll be holding onto the i5 for a while

Fantastic. I'll take 2.

How much is the Xeon W-3175X that has been released today also?

Robert · 8 Oct 2018 at 19:42

So after very briefly considering this...I've ordered:

1 88350 AMD Ryzen™ 7 2700X, AM4, Zen+, 8 Core, 16 Thread, 3.7GHz, 4.35GHz Turbo, 20MB Cache, 105W, CPU, Retail + Wraith Prism £249.99 £299.99

They can't just magic something out of thin air lol, we would have seen another Ryzen by now If so.

They only needed to wait for Intel to show their hand with 9 series to know what the benchmark is.

Intel will either respin 14nm again or they will pray that their 10nm is fixed, as I've said befre I expect Intel to have to refine 10nm a couple of times before they pass their current 14nm stuff, infact I expect the 4700x or zen2 refresh if you like, to be on the shelves before Intel has a 10nm desktop chip that beats the 9900k

Who said it'd be magicing something out of thin air? Who's to say they haven't had a 2800x in the pipeline for 6 months, but decided to hold off until market conditions needed a better chip?

Intel's 1st "mainstream" 8c/16t at "enthusiast" pricing, nice one!
Having not owned a PC for well over a year I was set to buy into this, but tbh I have better things to spend my money on. Sure it will be a blinder of a CPU though.

I don't understand the outrage Intel or the retailers can charge what they want ultimately the consumers are the ones to blame, they'll drop prices if no one buys it's quite simple really.

If you don't like the price then don't buy it, wait for the prices to drop or just go with AMD. It's not like people didn't already know that these would be expensive.

awaybreaktoday · 8 Oct 2018 at 19:49

whos getting a Xeon W-3175X?

awaybreaktoday · 8 Oct 2018 at 19:51

Amd have just announced 2800X 4.3 base, 4.9 boost......

I'd be very surprised if there's another lineup of chips on Z370/Z390 after these. Intel generally only have two product stacks on each socket before moving on, and have aggressively nixed compatibility and dumped chipsets in the past to maintain that status quo. I'd expect Z470 and a "new" socket for 10nm.

SiDeards73 · 8 Oct 2018 at 19:54

I wonder how many AMD chips and consoles just got sold off the back of this

SO when apple sell out of the new iphone or sell well, do they ramp the cost up? No, seems to stay the same to me.

Can't say I'm that interested in iphones but didn't the last one sell for £1000? Anyway I stand by what I said. I'd like a 9900k but I'm not going to pay £600 for it anymore than I'm going to complain that It's too much for my liking.

Now If no one buys a single chip how long do you think Intel or the retailers will keep it at that price?

That's my thoughts exactly, protest with your wallets - if enough people do, they'll do something about it.

My point is, it doesn’t fluctuate over its life. I can go and buy one for 1k now, or 1k in 6 months.
