Ok, thanks. Will the 9400 likely have any other improvements over the 8400?
Do you guys also reckon these will drop prices of the current intel chips much further?
Maybe the maximum default memory speed will increase from 2666mhz?

Windows is just generally crap for serious performance. My default TV stream transcode that I do using ffmpeg (720p @ 3 Mb/s for my phone) needs all 4 cores at about 80-90% on Windows. On Ubuntu Server it doesn't even max out 2 cores. The Windows machine is an i5-4400 and the Linux one is an R7 1700 (stock), so very close IPC and clock speeds.Win server is worse than win 10 pro for scaling, To be honest if I was M$ I'd be embarrassed!
To those expecting low pricing, forget it

If pricing is correct is cheaper to buy a 2920X, or on some good deals the 2950X or in some places the 7900X than the new 9900K. Ouch.
While the 9700K is close to the 2920X pricing.....
And if so also, expect the 9900K hit easily £1000 for pre binned chips.
inflated prices , should fall close to 8 core x299
My basket at Overclockers UK:
- 1 x Intel Core i7-7820X 3.6GHz (Skylake X / Basin Falls) Socket LGA2066 Processor - Retail= £499.99
- 1 x Intel Core i9-7900X 3.3GHz (Skylake X / Basin Falls) Socket LGA2066 Processor - Retail= £889.99
sure i've got the launch week somewhere , thought it was still Q3 launch but might be paper based.
now, to wait for AMD Z490 chipset
AMD has no Z490, X570 with pci-e 4/5 is the way to go
AMD must be breathing a sigh of relief at these prices.

CentralPoint is basically selling parts they don’t have for the price that is artificially increased because MSRP will not be known until early September. It’s like with news stories, the sooner you publish your story, the more readership it will get, or in this case, more preorders.
videocardz wrote that on their article..... Isn't ironic given their Nvidia articles without this warning and photoshopped images for weeks now?I'm not sure we should be going on that info regarding price?

Wow... okay Intel.
- Intel Core i7 9700K - EUR 567 = £510
- Intel Core i9 9900K - EUR 732 = £660
In Netherlands were is posted at €561.10 ex vat is roughly £610 in UK with VAT.
However I doubt the prices will be any less than £600. A price more than double than the 2700X which is right now on offers at £280.
TBH i'm struggling to believe these prices.
Intel have competition, they are selling less CPU's as a result, i think Intel are a lot like nVidia and Apple in the sense that they at least think their brand commands so much mindshare that they can charge pretty much anything for their products.
They believe that all of those not 'loyal to Intel' have now pretty much gone to the other side and what's left can be convinced to pay more money to stick with Intel and make up for the short fall of sales to those who have left.
Having said that i'm not sure even Intel believe they can charge over £600 for a 6 core Coffeelake refresh, £800 for the 8 core.
I'm really not convinced at these prices, but i wouldn't put it past Intel to try.
people seem to be so pessimistic about Intel and optimistic about AMD, it's understandable I guess.
Intel charges £600+ for the 9900K, but true I agree with you mate.
Look at the X299 prices right now. Second gen Threadripper is upon us, have you seen some meaningful price cuts?
Same applies to second generation Ryzen in relation to CFL lineup.
And I bet you next year those prices will remain inflated even if Zen2 can clock to 5Ghz and comes with 12 cores. Though Intel will show how stupid it is, and all it's supporters, if AMD comes with the full fat 16 core chip on the mainstream platform and doesn't cut prices. (which it will be used on the EPYC servers).
Both Intel & Nvidia are following the succesful strategy of Apple. Full stop. Inferior products, against good competition, yet a trillion company.
