I can tell you it will, let me explain.
I have owned both a 1700 and 8700k.
I still own a 1070 and 1080ti.

Now am I lying to get my belly tickled, or have I actually experienced the above?
Sandstorm runs on the unreal 4 engine which will undoubtedly run better on intel.

Right so now you have got to the stage where you cannot just accept what people are telling you and have to take it right into the gutter and make it your word against mine.

You are obsessed with Intel.

BTW, i work with Unreal Engine, and Cryengine (Hunt Showdown)

Not really, I gave you the firestrike results which you dismissed at being 4 years old. What about games that are 4 years old? Do we ignore those? You literally came from an ancient 4 core haswell to a 6 core ryzen.
The difference was dramatic for you. I can see why you sing its praises. In the games listed and I have experienced, the difference from ryzen to coffee is as dramatic. Something which single player games do not show.

I'm glad you work with the unreal engine. I've just dug these old screenshots out with show my old locked haswell xeon smacking ryzen about in gears of war. Which you guessed it, uses unreal engine :)


 
Cue e-tailers rubbing their hands in glee. Possibly another convenient shortage to let them break out the price ratchet spanner.

everything is increasing in price these days, first the DRAM, then, GPU, now CPU. Feelsbadman

AMD's new CPUS are cheaper than their equivalent CPUs from last year (Ryzen and Threadripper)
 
Since samples keep cropping up with stock clocks and turbo high enough to be retail chips, I presume these aren't far off now. So maybe in a few weeks we'll find out what the actual MSRP on them is.
 
$534 feels like clickbait. The performance is going to be awesome - but that is a massive hike over the 8700k. That said it will be the leader in the desktop space by far enough that they think they can milk it until next years Ryzen 2 comes out.

This is also a big piece of silicon.

Come on, they raise the price so they ensure that everyone that preorders will get one.

So nice of them.

I suspect they will still be binned on Silicon Lottery and other sites that will buy a load of "tray oem" stock and then test them all to sell the top percent at a mark up, there is a market for this after all.

I also expect artificial inflation, what with the news that Intel is at manufacturing capacity and as such some lines will suffer delays and poor stock, this in turn will drive the market up, wouldnt suprise me if the initial batch of 9900k sell out then further batches are increased in price due to "stock shortages", its classic bait and switch, entice the first round of buyers in with a lower price point, once its in public domain people see how good they are and all want one, then refer back to your "capacity issues" Story and jack the price up lol.

Win win for Intel :)
 
That's why they're keeping some of their chipsets and other ICs at >22nm or cutting production of chipsets like the H310 (14nm), the lower margin products. They won't cut production on their high margin products like the consumer & data center CPUs, because it doesn't make any sense.
This isn't some Intel bait and switch, it's just the rumor mill working in overtime and people being gullible enough to eat it without chewing.

This is Intel were talking about here, they never have the customer first, they have their pockets and shareholders pockets being lined first and foremost.. if you want to believe they wont find a way to use this to their advantage to scrape more cash from their customers, your not as smart as you think you are ;)
 
That's literally how all corporations work, they are legally bound to care about their shareholders first and foremost, not just Intel.
And it's weird that you think that cutting production on high margin consumer part will net them higher net profits than if they shipped the product in volume.
