Intel to launch 6 core Coffee Lake-S CPUs & Z370 chipset 5 October 2017

Wonder how many people waiting for today are going to get upset enough to just order a Ryzen rig due to the extremely limited supply of CPU's and the potential wait for a few months to get one?

I bet Ryzen will be in short supply by the end of the day when everyone rage quits on to it

I'd go Ryzen if they had decent ITX or MATX boards with 2 m.2 slots like my Z270i.

isn't the 1700 non X a better choice - come with a cooler as opposed to the X variants?

It's my ocd again. I'd rather have the "best" of something. I'd feel better having the top Ryzen 5 than entry level Ryzen 7.

I know that all the cpu's are identical when overclocked and even though you get an additonal 2 cores, if I was going Ryzen 7 I'd want the 1800x, and when I look at the 1800x I start thinking the 7820x makes sense for 100 quid more.

I know I sound crazy lol but the other thing is for purely gaming I don't think it makes sense paying more for Ryzen 7 anyway, and by the time 8 cores is needed I'd be on a different motherboard...

The 1700X seems to offer a little more core and memory overclocking. It's also priced pretty close to 1700 now.

If i invest in a ryzen i will just upgrade to ZEN2 instead of waiting for Z390

According to AMD yes. Zen+ (Feb 2018), Zen 2 (end 2018) and Zen 3. Latter two in 7nm

For gaming is hyperthreading getting more of an advantage these days?

Still wondering if it blow a wad on the 7900x, would this be a nice upgrade from my [email protected]? Or save a bit and go 7820?

I think it's pointless going for a 7900x if your main usage is gaming.

I'd rather keep the difference and put it towards the inevitable gpu upgrade once Volta releases...

A 7820x makes more sense I reckon, even if there won't be night and day differences in gaming, you'll get an extra 2 cores.

With 4 cores it made a difference, the 7700k was worth the premium over the 7600k, but now we're at 6 core cpu's the differences seem minimal. The 8600k looks like the go to gaming processor now in Intel's range.

If prices are ridiculous / stock issues i will most probably go for a Ryzen too

I think that the opposite what Intel planned, they rushed Cofvefe to cut Ryzen sales when they will do the exact opposite.

I'd probably sit tight with the 5930K TBH. Maybe keep an eye out for a 2011 8 or 10 core. I've seen those with big discounts.

And if your main usage isn't gaming then surely you'd go 1920X or 1950X Threadripper for a similar price?

Yeah seems someone knees jurked really hard.

lol just seen the I7 "somewhere" for 464 and not till december.. the words theveing btards spring to mind.

I did say these would be £400+ on release, a lot of people were like "oh no they'll be £350 tops"... hate to be that guy but, told you so.

 

[Molesy79]

Wow the price gouging generally happens after a product is launched not before...

Yep well will just buy from America when they get stock. £100 quid cheaper with all taxes...

Wait another 75 minutes and everything will be clear.

Passengers are boarding the train, while the train is nowhere to be seen

You did, but it's still not official yet. The hope kinda lives on.

I got an 8700K for £356 but was rather lucky. I'm hoping more reputable retailers such as OCUK will be a little more sensible on pricing.

Well if I have to wait 2 months for the prices to calm down I will not going to spend over the odds just because I want it now or I'll just by the Kaby I7

 

[SiDeards73]

Will be even more hilarious if the reviews come out and its not actually any better than the 7700k in games as well total fail on Intels part.
