Lead the way then Jamie... So what is the news?
Click to expand...
The most recent news is all the benchmarking leaks.
If they are indeed legitimate then i'd say they seem very impressive (although it does look like HT needs a better test).

As another said, itll be interesting to see further tests just to see how much HT makes a difference and in what scenarios the most.

I'm actively trawling the net and looking for news wherever I can, if I find anymore info on potential release times, prices or anything else then I'll obviously add it to the thread along with the relevant links...

It'll be a hell of a lot better to see the latest news as the last post even if it was a week ago than to have to sift 4 pages of devaluation and amd fanboyism just to find it.
No news is better than bad news as they say.

In this case they are all overclocked, so no funny business, we know what all the clocks are, they are listed in the CPU dropdown.

9900K #1: 4.8Ghz
9900K #2: 5.0Ghz
2700X: 4.45Ghz
Click to expand...
Apparently #2 is at stock with a single thread boost to 5Ghz, #1 has all cores at 4.8Ghz (a 100Mhz overclock) and the 2700X is overclocked to 4.45Ghz which is pretty much the limit.

A 9900K at 5.1Ghz has now scored 36K on Geeekbench. :cool:

So not a lot really then. Post back when you have some news.

Not a lot to some perhaps, but to me and many interested, it is quite big news which in turn could create a lot of positive discussion.

I will reply to people and add my thoughts as I see others comment, this is generally the way of a forum thread and those interested, as long as it's on topic then people should discuss and add whatever thoughts they have on the subject, Its not down to you to tell people when to post, the thread is about 9000 series cpus...I can only presume this is also to discuss the topic as well as add news.
You've asked about the latest news, I've given you the latest. That shouldn't mean people cant discuss the details.

I just want to be positive and talk to others mutually interested in buying one who are as enthusiastic as I am on getting their hands on one, i just disagree with all the unnecessary biased negativity.

That's impressive, what i will add though is that a stock 9900k actually boosts to 5ghz on 2 cores out of the box not one.
 
Lol if I had a £ for every time you say enthusiast, positive discussion or experience I’d have enough to buy one of these lol.

No I also like positive discussion too and unfortunately sometimes these thread have a habit of going off topic but I’m sure no one does it intentionally, it’s just a byproduct of an enthusiastic discussion between fellow positive enthusiast’s.

That statement says it all really.


But yeah I agree and appreciate we all drift off topic naturally In conversation, I am guilty of doing it myself many times, but that's not really my main point of having a moan...It is more the constant negativity from the blatant Amd fanboys. Every other post was becoming about Intel's pricing strategy, their security flaws or how amd is going to beat it next year. People saying Intel needs to be cheap to compete (amd prices) or if not they need get a quid for each certain word a poster says lol ;-)...it all tells the same story to me.
 
We've just had some pricing through finally for the i7 9700K, it's looking about ~£372 with the VAT. I've not got any projects planned for these 9000 chips, but given the shortage that is going to happen I'm glad.

No word on the 9900K as of yet, but I'll try and get more info over the next few days, again nothing planned with it so not been paying much attention to it.

May i ask how or where you got this info, just wondering how legitimate this is?

9900K OC 5.1GHz:

Impressive scores with 100MHz OC added 3000 on multi core make 5.1GHz 9900K faster than Threadripper 2950X, i9 7900X and i9 7920X. 5.2GHz would be faster than i9 7960X, 5.3GHz could see 9900K faster than i9 7940X and i9 7980XE. Single core score is another world record. :D

O.k I'm having a mini rant about this. Sorry but there's no way that cpu should be beating a 2950x or even 7920x in multi core. What's up with the benchmark anyway. The top score for a 2990x is only 34000 yet the 1950x got 39000. And why is Linux so much better since with this OS the 1950x's achieve 60000+. And why is the 2950x not as fast as the 1950x? Oh and it doesnt beat the 7920x either because they are getting 40000 windows and 54000 or something on Linux with only 3ghz. I'm going to guess windows is limiting the test to a certain number of cores and that raw clock speed is what is allowing the 9900k to win.

Your as guilty as anyone for posting walls of meaningless text that people also have to scroll past.
Stop whining about it and if it upsets you so much pop all those meanies on ignore and you won’t have scroll past them.

Anyway do we have any benchmarks other than geekbench? Strange how we’ve seen little in the way of cinebench.

From our purchasing dept. I was chasing up a 7900X part I had on order, and somehow they managed to get the 7 and 9 the wrong way round and said October, and all the pricing data was on there which I knew was wrong so I queried it a bit further and low and behold it is the price for the new CPU 9700(K). We buy is US$ hence the approximate price, since you've got the US:UK conversion and then VAT to add to that if you are a consumer rather than a business user. :)
