Any indications on what sort of launch this will be in Oct 5th, a 'proper' launch or a paper launch like recent GPU releases

Speak of the devil, pre-order possible in Switzerland, won't post site, not a competitor I would imagine, no motherboards listed yet.
Note, low VAT here, UK will probably be a bit more.
i7 8700k not listed
i7 8700 was £255 but list was taken down.
i5-8600K £210 delivery 05.10 --> Edit, now delivery date unknown.
i5-8400 £154 delivery 05.10
i3-8350K £153 delivery 05.10

Wow Gigabyte AORUS Ultra Gaming motherboard look amazing with extra RGB lights on PCI Express slots, memory slots and on top and side of chipset. Look better than ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X HERO so I might get one depend on price, it could be the first time upgrade to Gigabyte Z370 motherboard in 20 years since my first custom PC build with Gigabyte GA-5AX motherboard in 1997.
Hmm if the i5-8600K ends up nearly the price of the i7-7700K then maybe it won't be as good as I thought.

Considering right now an i5 7600K is 230 pound to buy here right now, I'm not sure what people are expecting price wise.
Although they're absolutely loltastic prices.

Actually, it's probably the exchange rate, the 8600K with the rate when I moved here in 2001 would work out at nearly £700 (x2.5 vs curently x1.3!). It's a rough guide at the very most.
Chinese Intel 8700K Review

Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 motherboard RGB lights look very cool.
They managed to OC 8700K to 5.2GHz at 1.415V.

Interesting that its slightly slower in some games vs the 7700k and at 4k the difference between all three is negligible.
Bet its a beast at 5.2ghz though!

Wait for reviews otherwise you might be burnt, don't trust corporations these days.

Anything has to be better than my ageing 3770K
The i7-8700K seems specifically positioned to out-perform the R7 1800X at nearly everything (the Ryzen seems to win in a couple of heavily threaded apps but only barely). Coffee Lake will probably force AMD to reduce the price of their 8c/16t offerings since they won't currently have much going for them, but I doubt they'll have to budge their 4c/8t and 6c/12t lines since they'll still be great budget options. Good news for anyone that was considering the R7 1700(X) specifically for the core count though.
My X5650 is better than your i7-3770K...at some stuff anyway.

My google skills have failed me, can you link the reviews ?
looked at the Chinese review link and the performance for the 2 extra cores in games looks very underwhelming? Especially surprised at BF1 as its a game I play that seems to want more cores than my 6700k I7 and yet performs worse.

You would be surprised how little has changed since 2012 with Intel offerings. With 8700k you will get core bump but single thread performance will be on par with 7700kAnything has to be better than my ageing 3770K
Just based on the reviews being posted in this thread. Nothing official yet but I doubt they are far off.

Looking at the same board myself, will be interesting to see the price difference between Z270 and Z370 motherboards, i see it as a chance for manufacturers to scalp a bit more sadly

Done my Pre-order for my Dad.
8350K
Hyper 212
Corsair 2x8GB 3200
Seasonic 650W Focus Plus Gold
Planning mITX (ASUS) so I can hand carry it on Easyjet, but if they are not released, I can just fit the ATX in.

What are airports like with buying computer parts from abroad?
I was thinking of picking up the 8600k when on holiday outside of eu not sure if they would tax me on the way back in.
