Seriously? drat, I was refreshing since 6am PST and I know people who were refreshing since 12am PST and none came in stock

Except for the UK store

They must have low stock because I had the same page with the October 9th thing and when I added it to cart it disappeared. Looking through twitter and everywhere else it seems like everyone had that same problem. I still think that might've been a doctored photo or they had MINIMAL stock because no one has confirmed they got it through the Amazon US store

It's kind of weird how dismissive Linus is of AMD and their long-term motherboard philosophy, especially given his "heartfelt" diatribe against Intel a bit ago.

It's like John Gruber on Apple.

i can forgive linus for his shilling more than i can forgive gruber tbh; at least the sponsorships explain the softballs. the only thing that gruber gets out of it is the occasional interview with an apple exec, which i wouldn't say is worth the rationalisation and cognitive dissonance he goes through to explain away even the most boneheaded decisions by the company as part of some master plan.

i use apple pretty much exclusively for my personal computing and for the most part i really like the products, but come on grubey have some self respect

That's just the way he rolls.
The 8700k looks to be a beast of a cpu, but my 2500k with a 50% overclock has spoiled me.

Most 8700k's are getting a 300hz overclock? That's not worth the extra heat. (when gaming)







Makes me wonder how a 8700(non k) holds up.

The amazon Auros Gaming 7 bundle gives $50 off the motherboard so i ordered that. People are getting 5-5.2ghz on the board.

EU rumors of a paper launch seem about right, I haven't seen a 8700K in stock anywhere. One shop briefly had a 8600K in stock at 279€ and that pretty much wipes the floor with the Ryzen equivalent(s), we'll probably see more 1600(X) mysteriously running on 8 cores in the near future.

Recent Gigabyte boards tend to overvolt quite significantly because that's a cheap way to make boards look like they overclock better. Some Ryzen boards overshoot by almost 10% (0.15V) under load, I'd keep an eye on that.

Newegg had all the SKUs in stock except for the 8700k and 8600k when I was looking just now. Put a 8700 non-k in the cart and it went out of stock before checkout, ha. :/

They do this poo poo all the time. "Sorry, even though the site says it was in stock it actually isn't" is something that happens near every time I need something right quick from Scan.

It depends on what voltage you run, that number is for the 1.4V extreme case.
Around 1.3V it's nice to have, at stock don't bother from what I've seen so far.

I strongly disapprove


Is the lower clock and 6 threads less on the 8600k a really big deal vs the 8700k?

I feel like I don't need extra threads (mainly gaming with CPU intensive games like eu4 or civ6), but a 4.7 stock boost looks mighty tempting. Is it worth 100$ more?

It also has a smaller L3 cache but in my eyes it's still a good choice unless you're doing stuff that scales very well off Hyperthreading (not gaming).
Seems to run slightly cooler/clock higher than the 8700K too.

My local Microcenter, Cambridge/Boston, was out of everything but 8400's when I got there around 2pm today. Unfortunate, but I probably would have flipped anything I got, after price matching and motherboard bundling just because of, well, the opportunity. And I still would need a little time to get the rest of the parts I'm wanting for my upgrade.

Cool, Newegg put my 8600K order on hold for address verification, but didn't feel any need to actually inform me of that fact. What a joke. I assume I won't get my processor now.

Does your 6700K clock to 7700K base speeds? If so, look at 7700K results and there you go.
