OK so prices up across the board but with extra cores. If the i5-8600K ends up at £250 it'll be just over half way between the R5 1600 and R7 1700. It won't be able to touch the R7 1700 in heavily threaded applications but would best the R5 1600 is lowly threaded applications for sure, and looks a lot better value than a £370 i7-8700K. The Core i3 looks pretty pointless if it really is going to be more expensive than the already joke-priced i3-7350K. Yes it has 4 cores but at nearly double the price of the R3 1200 and only slightly less than the R5 1600 I don't see the point unless you only play old games that don't use 4+ threads.
Notice I'm only talking about their K series CPUs here. No-one really cares about locked ones.
**** me intel love their obscene margins even in the face of very competitive competition. £180 for the unlocked i3 lol.

Those prices look based on the Canadian retailer leak so are in no way official. I doubt they will be too much different, but the i3 and i5 being the same price makes no sense for one.
The 8600K could be interesting if you can get a 1000Mhz+ on the all cores speed for around £265. That said you can buy a 16 thread chip form AMD for about the same price. 6 threads vs 16 is going to be a hard sell.
Not if all you do is game at 1080p it isn't, it'll be the best 1080p cpu in the known universe
Only the anniversary edition Pentium was unlocked, others aren't.Who says it's the lowest lol, expect the unlocked Pentium 2/4 thread doing the rounds at £100.
If it doesn't clock as highly as an i7-7700K, there will be some who disagree with you. Well unless all the "4 cores is king" brigade become hypocrites or something.Not if all you do is game at 1080p it isn't, it'll be the best 1080p cpu in the known universe
Slightly better than a good 5820K. Well maybe worse in some cases.
They are not the same price the i3 will be $182 and the i5 will be $264, give or take a little bit according to that chart.
How?
