Mainstream i7 no longer hyperthreaded. 8700k gonna outperform 9700k for less...
Inb4 R5 2600 wins in multithreaded for half the price.

Pass

600$ for a oven.

not bad.

At least they are soldered now, but I think they just ruined the market spot for the i7... They should have kept the i7 at 6c12t and the i9 to 8c16t.

People with i7s don't use hyperthreading.

Streamers?

Yeah, and they have trouble even keep up orders on the current gen. So it will be a paper launch.
With this disappointment and the RTX shit I'm going wait till the new year with my build.

I really hope that AMD does a good job with 7nm; it will be the first decent leap ahead in CPU technology since Skylake?
It will really bring in a lot more sales and market share if they can produce it efficiently, and therefore make Intel actually pump out something good in response with decent prices, and have good overall market competition for a few years to follow.

the fuck u talking about
u see 8 series oos

Yes there is currently a 14nm shortage.
Prices at least here is increasing and some are out of stock.

Intel stated like a week ago they are investing $1b into fab sites to keep up.
