I wonder how many of these ocuk will hold back this time?.....
It's crazy. I thought the 9900k would be a tough sell at 350 what with the 2700. These prices are as mad as Nvidia's.
Gents have a look here

Basically OpenBSD will cut off HT on all Intel CPUs because of the security issues.
I had just about convinced myself that 2950x was the way to go, but as I'm playing at higher frame rates (3440*1440 100Hz) I'm seeing my 5960x throttle the GPU on single core performance at times. It tells me I need core speed over multi cores, which is Intel territory... But then I read all this and I'm back to the drawing board.
They've had long enough to sort this out, so if the 9900k is confirmed bug ridden too then I think I'm stuck for the time being![]()
So I assumed these crazy prices were retailer gouging.
But by now would Intel not have come out and said something publicly? If this wasn't RRP?

Imho have you not considered upgrade to 6950X?
At 3440x1440 100hz you are fine with the current stronger CPUs. Even if that is a 2700X with PBO overclocking (automatic one) with GTX1080Ti.That would give me more cores, but I think it's clock speed I need. TBH, I'd go for the 2950x before the 6950x.

There were some benchmarks with 5.1Ghz 8700K and at resolutions 3440x1440 & 4K there was absolute no difference between that and the 1700X let alone the 2700X.
I've seen a couple of games hammer the single core and hold the GPU back, not all games but there are a few that need the clock speed/IPC at higher FPS from what I can see.
Do you have a specific game in mind?
Skyrim came out in 2011, and is based on the Oblivion engine. Also ENB is a mod.I've noticed it on Shadow of War and also Skyrim SE with ENB.
