Now that the 10% off sitewide has expired I've just noticed that Futu has the i7 8700K Coffee Lake processor available.
It is listed much higher than the lowest static ice price but the 10% "discount" and code brings it down to the lowest (and presumably in stock) in Australia! 683 sold as of posting so be quick.
I estimate there to be ~700 in stock according to the sold and remaining % figures on the page.
How tf you getting 700 in stock as a number lmao? You can't even add 6 to an order..
EDIT: Yep and there it goes. All 5 at once lmao.
Edit; I see what they're now doing with discounts.
Ah I used "More than 98% sold" and divided that with 683 to get 696, and 700 to round it up.
Didn't want to add to cart in case ebay reserves stock for a set period of time.
Looks like it was only 690 though! Have reported it to be out of stock. Curiously on the sold page it doesn't list all 690 sales.
Looks like someone Broden-ed it to make a tidy profit.
I suspect that is because Futu have reused their old ebay listing for the i7-6700K and simply changed the product to the i7-8700K. If you load the Google's cached copy of the listing from September 23, you'll see that it shows the previous procesor: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:TRwW_G…
damn those are expensive…was considering change my 1700x tothis. but now i get the performance and the price reason…
Why would you change 1700x to this? You're upgrading your CPU, MB and RAM every 6 months?
wasnt expecting this act from intel.
my previous cpu was 2600k, so no.
$534!? i think ill stick with my 4690K for a few more years
And this one is considered "cheap". Some places have been trying to flog them for $600+ and the biggest problem Intel have is they are struggling to have enough stock to offer a lower price before the next Ryzens come out in early 2018. AMD have done very well this gen.
isnt msrp 350~370 us dollar?
What's your point? (Not being snarky, just not sure what you're getting at)
Your guess is as good as mine mate. Stock levels, demand, "import taxes"… I waited for the launch and was disappointed so bought a 1700x for $380AUD.
1700X has more CPU compute and almost 0% FPS improvement unless your one of those people who buy high end PC's to game at 1080P.
once the CPU becomes a bottleneck at 2k-4k gaming by that time the latest and greatest thing will blow away both 1700X and 8700k for half the price. ( around 2-3 years time)
lol dude, no.
all benchmark shows huge chuck of fps improvement….. to the point where the difference can be negate anymore…but still the price gap is huge as well. which makes sense now.
My 1700x runs Origins at capped 60fps 1080p with everything on ultra.
i want at least 144fps, and 280 for competitves. its a bit too much to ask from 1700x.
Now let see if they really do have it in stock at those quantity…
