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

Why would anyone buy one of the binned CPUs? Pretty much every Coffee Lake review I've read says hitting 5Ghz is fairly easy, so you're paying a £140+ premium for something you could do yourself. The phrase 'more money than sense' comes to mind.

How long before the full overclocked systems are available? With something like the above and GTX1080Ti etc etc (roughly will do :D

depends what your after- if you wanted a full build believed he said for you to call up and would have sorted a build before chips went live- if your after a bundle deal with himself overclocking it (mobo/cpu/ram/cooler) you may get lucky .... but you'd have to call up

think you may be out of luck now till stock comes in

Pretty low move by ocuk by only selling that particular sku after they have binned them
Clearing cashing in, i know they are a business but come on
Like an extra .2ghz performance for £200 more haha jog on
Glad i dont fall all these tricks they do
 
Some of us don't have the time to spend on delidding and overclocking, we need a chip that we know will work. If I was to take my time involved and question it againest the £140 I'd earn more working than doing that.

Anand sumed it up well.




Thanks Intel, maybe a worthy upgrade next year?

Talk about removing context.

Here's the actual paragraph
"Intel also sampled us the Core i5-8400, showing that six-core processors can cost less than $200. This processor, along with the Core i3-8100, will form the new backbone of general computing when using Intel components: the Core i3-8100 replaces old Core i5 processors for around $120, and enthusiasts who simply want a little more oomph can go with the Core i5-8400 at $190 at retail. It almost comes across as adding 50% cost for adding 50% performance. Personally I think the Core i3-8100, if made widely available, will be a top-selling processor for casual desktop users and gamers who were previously looking for a good performance-per-dollar part."

They are not tricks people are paying for a service and guaranteed above stock performance and thermals. We sell 100s of these delid binned units per year are all these guys stupid??

Didnt say they were stupid did i?
I said "I" dont fall for your companies sales tactics
Only ever push "your" ram for every build.. only selling the i7 sku after you have binned them.

But like i said thats just my opinion and i know you are a business
People have the right to spend their hard earned money however and where ever they see fit.
