One day I will delid my 7700k, but only when I have the $ to buy a gen I actually want.

In b4 i5 10800 release lel

lol
so scared

Hopefully they will change their name scheme in the next generation.

I messed up the trace broad trying to delid my 3770K.

Rip. Forced me to upgrade to a 4930k.

I'm getting one too

sure sure george

8700k upgrade has less cores... lol.
Are they just adding a 6th tier to the core linup on the same socket now? (celeron, pentium, i3, i5, i7, i9)

8700k's upgrade aka 9700k has two additional cores. Not sure how 2 cores vs 16threads will look like performance wise.
Yes they are just adding another tier in top end.

Less threads*, my bad.

I also fucked up. It's 2 cores vs 4 threads.
Since 8700k has 6c/12t and the 9700k has 8c/8t. It's going be two extra cores, but four less threads.
