If we take 8700K launch price @ £400 or the current price of the 8086k and add 20% for 2 extra cores, that brings it up to £480, add in the fact its supposedly soldered which again bumps the premium, say to £500, then add in the fact its not an i7 anymore its a prestigous i9 we can easily see it heading towards £530, then add in some gouging, £550+ is very easily achievable imho.

i9-9900k only $534/£500

Probably another £100 for the privilege of overclocking. Only on a Z390 board though.
The 8700K launch price was inflated by shortages and retailers saving a lot of stock for binning memes didn't help either. MSRP was still $359~370.
But I guess I can pull prices out of the nether too, i9 9900K will cost £99999, why stop at only £500?

In all honesty, the 8086k is £400 here, 9900k is going to be north of this, lets be honest the 8086k is a decent binned 8700k, the 9900k are going to be the best binned chips... they are going to be expensive, dread to think how much silicon lottery / pre binned ones are going to go for.
Its the only route Intel have at the moment, higher speeds to give them higher IPC, which come at a huge premium.
If £400 is your top budget why not get the 1920x. Mmm 12 core cpu.
Yup ^^^^
£360 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-...hz-socket-tr4-processor-retail-cp-3a8-am.html
Unbelievable price for that ^^^
Its at least as fast as the £900 7900X, which is about to get cannibalised by this, awesome times death to ridiculously priced CPU's

death to ridiculously priced CPU'sWell yes its a HEDT chip, altho you can use them for gaming, and they work well as gaming CPU's you wouldn't buy these things specifically for gaming, if you're not buying them for gaming you're either a Youtube/Facebook browser, in which case get a cheap £40 Pentium or you're a content creator, in which case you need the cores.
Its a specific CPU for specific use cases, it cannot be confused.
Now having said that the 9900K is not going to serve you any better than the 8700K, 8 cores vs 6 will make no difference to your gaming performance, so again this is the kind of thing that will be bought by those with content creation in mind.
That ironically will make the £900 7900X obsolete, 2 less cores but higher clocked to make up for it, because the 7900X does not support ECC Memory, does not come with M.2 bootable raid out of the box and only has 44 PCIe lanes it has nothing, absolutely nothing over mainstream, not now that Intel are offering 8 higher clocked cores.
At least Lower end Threadripper still have ECC Memory, M.2 bootable raid out of the box and 64 PCIe lanes on top of 12 cores +
You may have gathered, i rather like seeing Intel forced to cannibalise their HEDT line.
I would be all over this if I needed 12 cores but as you say it's a great deal for those who do need the power!
Given the intel pricing, only the blind fanatics will support that company.
The alternatives are at half price......
Extra speed comes at a premium. Now lets end talk about that other company.

It's almost as if Gavin spends his entire life trolling OCUK forums shouting down AMD at every opportunity...
Oh dear
You need to get over it buddy

He is trying to justify the price paid for the 8700K since the day he bought it. He even trolls the AMD threadripper discussions about the superiority of Intel 8700K in gaming...
And yet here you guys are invading yet another intel thread.......
You can call whine about the cost as much as you like lol but the fact is this will be the fastest 8 core available.
Just like you invade the nvidia threads eh @Panos?

At least I do not try to justify AMD products on those discussion, if the post I am answering to is not relevant.
I don't need to justify anything, benchmarks do that for me.
You are deluded though, I have seen countless posts from you try to sell people on vega over a 1080 because you think its faster.
Same as you in the intel threads, trying to ram ryzen down peoples throats.
