November 15, 20187 yr 9900K for $850? 7900X for $1300? Did Intel just announce some massive shortage of CPUs or did one of their fabs go offline? That's considerably more than what I purchased these CPUs for. Cheers, Rob.
November 15, 20187 yr Time for people's eyes to wander back toward AMD? We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

November 15, 20187 yr I guess a panic happened ... https://www.tomshardware.com/news/asus-decline-intel-14nm-cpu-shortage,38072.html But that sounds daunting ... Q2 2019 until supplies ramp back up? Does AMD have a good single thread overclockable CPU? Last I checked AMD single core performance was still below Intel's ... did this change? Cheers, Rob.
November 15, 20187 yr Hmmm ... AMD 2950X, disable 8 cores, bump up from 4.4 to 5.2 Ghz? That might help the single thread performance but I don't have much experience with overclocking AMD 2950X so not sure if 5.2Ghz is possible with a chiller? I must admit, I had written AMD off, but it's single thread performance is pretty darn close ... https://techreport.com/review/33987/amd-ryzen-threadripper-2950x-cpu-reviewed/4 Cheers, Rob.

I think that exactly what you are saying is why we see these 9900Ks out there already. It just has that released to soon feel for several reasons and was not completely ready for prime time. There very well may be a shortage of parts but as you have seen, the 8086K and 8700K are right there in the ball park for performance. For what ever reason I think this release has way more to do with marketing than a "new" product and they are just betting on the come with hopes that we will all forget about it soon.

November 15, 20187 yr What the heck???? Cali is on fire and your worried about the stock market????? All kidding aside ....3 miles visibility here in San Jose ....worst day yet, and we've had some bad days since the Camp fire started.. Anyway, back on topic. Funny thing is earlier today Central had both the boxed and tray 9900k in stock at $569 and $525 respectively. Checking prices and stock now right now, the boxed is still listed at $569 but "out-of-stock" with the tray version in stock but at $549. Anyway, somebody pass me the bottle of oxygen.

November 15, 20187 yr Yeah, not sure what the real deal is with Intel, they keep denying they have problems but the shortage seems very real given these prices. But ... AMD 2950X ... lots of PCIe Gen 3 lanes, 40MB CPU cache, quad channel DDR4 support ... can they be OC's to 5+Ghz? From what I've seen no, unless it's LN2 which is not practical. Cheers, Rob.

Lawsuits have been filed against PG&E for improper maintenance of power lines. If anyone is thinking of making this political, don't, 48 dead people and counting (100's still missing and many elderly). NewEgg prices just skyrocketed for anything with i9 in front of it.

November 15, 20187 yr CPU prices ... what happened? Tell me about it . Check this out.In Amazon México, some company "Interloper Inc." from TX is offering:Intel Intel Core i9-7980XE Processors BX80673I97980X for a mere 66,118.67 Pesos, = 3,247.57 Dollars. + Shipping Edited November 15, 20187 yr by RamonB Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
November 15, 20187 yr I don't understand. Shortage? But electronic local stores haven't even received any 9900K or 9700K. So, when was it ever released? Or will be?

November 15, 20187 yr its called holiday season prep. --- they raise the price now to look like its discounted later for black friday - don't be fooled people!
November 15, 20187 yr I managed to get 8086K for less than the 8700K, which was still around 600 USD. Ivan Majetic ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO; 7900X3D; NZXT KRAKEN ELITE 360, GIGABYTE RTX 4080; G.SKILL TridentZ NEO RGB DDR5 64 Gb, WD HDD 2TB, SAMSUNG 980PRO, SAMSUNG 970EVO Plus 2x, ALIENWARE 3423DWF
