New PT Data: i9-9900K is 66% Pricier While Being Just 12% Faster than 2700X at Gaming

Maybe we should be posting about how great it is that we can pay £620 for a CPU and that we're looking forward to the time when we get to pay £700? Thought not...carry on moaning I'll be buying something else
fixed that for you. (Plus shipping).
the main problem with these chips is retailers are gouging the price. the problem in this is massive retailers are listing the proper pricing of the chip so other retailers will follow shortly. the real price is good for the chip. gouged price of 600 obviously isnt.

Of course they will sell, but how well? I tend to go by the 'Rain Forest' best sellers list, on both the UK and US best sellers of which the listing goes to 100 the 9900K has not even made it into that list, in fact there is only one of these Coffeelake refreshes in the top 100, its the 8700K replacement, the 9700K and its #6, even if the only one #6 is a good place to be, you might think, yet when you see that the Ryzen 2700X is #2 and the 2600 #1 suddenly you realise Intel with this line of CPU's and the pricing are no longer anything like as popular as they once were, AMD are doing better than Intel these days so conversations like this are absolutely valid.
Not that they a re warmed versions of old b0rked chips with a pair of cores tagged on? I'm pretty sure that is the main the problem.

Salt.
They will be (For how long who knows) the fastest chips on earth for gaming. End of. And with 8c16t they will last for many years to come.
So yeah. Borked.
Fractionally faster, but who cares... Intels biggest (only) plus point is dwarfed by its many problems. Sorry if reality makes you salty.

The 9900K is a penis extension?

Why does that 8700k only go up to 4.3GHz, is it broken?
Soldato
Both are running at stock out of the box speeds
Soldato
4.3GHz is the maximum non-OC all core boost.
Caporegime
That's the all core boost, in the same way the 2700X in only boosting to 4Ghz not 4.35Ghz.

We all posted at the same time, you asked the question, *** unnecessary ***

You may not have noticed but not everyone thinks the same way as you. Many people, for what ever reason, get fanatical about tech. So some people obviously do care. OcUK have a vibrant community here that many businesses would kill for, so it confuses me when you call them out on it. Especially when many of them end up throwing money at you.

Its why he cares enough to post that in here
Because of the money? Yeah, I get that. This forum and its moderated drama are a part of their business model. It’s one of the reasons I keep spending money here.

I think the AMD defence force is pretty cool.
I think I'd like to join that club, but I'd need an AMD CPU first!

Is that the AMDDF or the ADF???
