You got 9900k right.
We've really managed to build up some good inventory now on 9700K and 9600K, hence getting price down, in fact our 9600K price is cheaper than most competitors sell the 8600K for.
It clearly ISN'T a value based CPU, that's the point lol! We're saying the same thing. It's abundantly clear that anyone who considers value an important factor in a purchasing decision won't buy it, and in a thread about PRICING, I fail to see how pointing that out is "stupid" or "trolling". But there are plenty of people who WILL buy it ignorantly, without doing their research or understanding that its price isn't value based. You must understand that, and it's why threads like this SHOULD be pointing it out. Not everyone has time to read reviews or do their research, and many will simply by a 9900K because they mistakenly think it's going to offer far better performance than something half the price... which would be quite wrong.
Debating? HA! You're not debating anything, you're just saying it's the best and that you want it. That's not a debate, nor was I 'debating' grammar, I was merely pointing out how bad yours was. Again, just a fact, not trolling, which are apparently two things you get quite confused about.
They certainly do, but it's not like he's putting forward any reasoned or considered argument, mostly becuase there isn't one. A 9900K is for a certain type of person... someone who has zero consideration for value/performance and simply wants the best (or rather fastest, as the word 'best' is open to interpretation) at any cost... and/or wants to tinker around with a 5Ghz CPU just for the hell of it, and again doesn't care how much it costs. There's also the 1080p competitive gamer who is competing with the best of the best on the world stage and therefore can justify spending £600 on a CPU for the extra FPS gains at 1080p with a 240Hz monitor. For everyone else it's pure e-peen waving/benchmark boasting or utter ignorance as to what they're actually buying.
What's even more absurd is to state that value is irrelevant in a thread that's specifically discussing pricing.

i agree with you legend the people who "need" this cpu have prob already bought it good luck to them i'm sure they are pleased with it
Were selling around 70 per day, it is our best selling CPU, so there are clearly a lot of people wanting 9900K's, us having stock of course helps whereas majority of UK has no stock.
Haha brilliant!
Almost believable too! In the 'ignored' bin you go...
Back OT. Is the 9900K good value? No, IMHO. Also: No, if benchmarked against opposition price/performance wise. Can Intel charge what they like? Yes. What else can one say?

I don't doubt that. The word 'want' pretty much drives our economy, or certain sectors of it anyway. Intel know what they're doing, and they're well aware of their brand power and the ability that it has to shift product.
You're aware to some people it's peanuts money and it's not even particularly hard earned, plenty of them about
good business then! it is the latest after all i suppose but is the performance improvement worth the premium some people wont be bothered they just want shiny new stuff/upgrade itch i'm sure if i had lots of spare cash and was upgrading i would look at it it no doubt as like you say its the best seller so why wouldn't i we are creatures of habit but its not like the old days when an upgrade felt like an upgrade,i remember going from an amd 850mhz thunderbird then 12 months later upgrading to an athlon xp 1800+ 1.53ghz "takes off rose tinted glasses lol",i know we are hitting the limits of silicon and intel are having trouble with 10nm node ect ect and their drip drip approach performance wise at 14nm and then banging a big premium on with each new release i think as someone else said earlier we have apple's business model to thank for that... intel and nvidia have looked at apple and thought we will have a bit of that knowing they can get away with it ,i think a lot of people will just end up getting a console i ended up waiting 18months for nvidias new cards to drop thinking they would be cheaper after the cryptocurrency craze died down but nope i refuse to pay these crazy prices i'd rather do withoutWere selling around 70 per day, it is our best selling CPU, so there are clearly a lot of people wanting 9900K's, us having stock of course helps whereas majority of UK has no stock.
You have no idea what amazing means. It's also "an amazing" not "a amazing."its faster than anything before for what its meant to be used for. it is a amazing cpu. as said the only thing people are moaning about are price and heat. the heat doesnt matter as its a gaming chip and in gaming its fine just like any other gaming cpu. price it could be priced better but its not that bad for a enthusiast cpu performance part. people have been paying for previous i7 high speed binned chips more .yet a stock stable fast chip is worse value somehow now thats faster
yet again you gone back to value. it isnt a value part. its a enthusiast gaming chip. where not in 100-200 budget amd gaming territory. so your comments shouldnt be related to this chip. only chips in the same price bracket.
yes no doubt was speaking from my own pauper prospective hahaYou're aware to some people it's peanuts money and it's not even particularly hard earned, plenty of them about
eggsplained it already.
No, you haven't explained why it's amazing. You've only made that exclamation. It's certainly not amazing in a technological sense, not at all. Intel have squeezed a lot out of 14nm, credit where credit is due, but it's hardly 'state of the art' technology. Is it amazing because it does 5Ghz stable? Sure, that's nice, but "amazing", really? Playing a bit fast and loose with your adjectives there, especially as you can't really do anything with that 5Ghz that a CPU half the price can't get within 10-15% of (and even that's only at a lower resolution of 1080p). If that's truly "amazing" to you, then you're way too easily impressed. What's actually more amazing is that at 4K, a CPU half the price of the 9900k, and which is manufactured using more modern processor technology at 12nm, is actually level with it!

that's the point if your skint it's not very good value if your well off then why not buy it you can afford it its the fastest not by much but still the fastest,its just irritating trying to "debate" on here and certain people worship at the altar of intel and thinks the sun shines out of their behind its annoying ,yes they have the fastest chip but you get shafted for itYou're aware to some people it's peanuts money and it's not even particularly hard earned, plenty of them about
Yes, depending what you're doing exactly, but why the poor value 9900k specifically?
