And people are actually buying them.....
Makes business sense in all fairness but of no use to anyone else regardless of loyalty
This, we had 30pc 8700K, we put them under regular stock, we would have sold 300pc in a few minutes and not be able to fulfill, as such listed as pre-order with an expected date of end of October, of course they may come sooner. Those 30 units are allocated to binned CPU's and systems only until Intel can improve upon supply.
Intel are launching a promotion on 6700K and 7700K with two triple AAA titles FREE which goes live very soon, as in about an hours time and with 7700K at £319 is quite attractive.

That's the worst salesman talk I've heard come out of your keyboard in ever, 7700K at £299 is £100 over priced, even with two free games, unless they are £50 each on Steam.
Sorry if that seems harsh, but it's fact.
ocuk had 30pcs of 8700K. website shows 10+ stocks for 5Ghz and 8 for 5.1Ghz. So I can only assume at least 18 out of 30 (more than 60%) can do 5Ghz or above.

£299.99 doesn't even match prices that competitors have had for many months...That's the worst salesman talk I've heard come out of your keyboard in ever, 7700K at £299 is £100 over priced, even with two free games, unless they are £50 each on Steam.

After the Vega debacle, Amd must be laughing their heads off right now
Anandtech's review puts the 8400 faster than the 8700K in many of the gaming benchmarks, which is weird...

Even in the ones that the 8700K wins, it's only by a frame or two. Throttling going on?

That doesn't make much sense. I've read a few other reviews that firmly place it below the 8700k in everything.Anandtech's review puts the 8400 faster than the 8700K in many of the gaming benchmarks, which is weird...

Was just thinking the exact same thing, Gibbo enjoy that punch from 8Pack
Other e-trailers listing the dates 20th for stock but could obviously be another 30. Is that MSI Godlike price a mistake or they have gone insane?

Tragic, It's been a terrible Year for Intel and Vega.

PLX chips are silly money these days.....
the chance of getting a bad one (<5Ghz) is actually much slimmer than getting a good one (5Ghz+) from retail channel LOLWas just thinking the exact same thing, Gibbo enjoy that punch from 8Pack

It's a winner and especially the i5-8400 which I've seen for £173.
