The Ryzen 7 2700x is probably more worth it but ay if you're after an Intel 9th gen, here you go.

Cheaper by about $30 to other retailers plus free delivery. Mix with your ebay gift cards for an even tastier deal.

    I'll trade you my 2500k for it?

      I paid around $230 for my 2500k back in 2012. This is a massive rip off. Hopefully they fix their production issues soon.

          Technology will not always increase over time. RAM used to cost above $100 a megabyte. A 15 inch CRT monitor cost a grand. Cheap laptops used to be in the $2K range.

              @magic8ballgag: It successfully disproves your ridiculous assertion, quite easily.

              PS so 'do' expectations ;)

                  @magic8ballgag: It's a ridiculous argument given everyone is pricing everything in today's dollars so if it's the same dollar amount it's actually cheaper given inflation.

                    @Diji1: Right? The same argument could be used that I don't see value in buying a house in today's market as a bigger house could have been purchased for ~75% less thirty years ago.

          It's the equivalent part. Even inflation and the lower AUD don't explain away the high price.

      • knobbs on 24/10/2018 - 14:02

        Yeah I picked it up for $235 back in Nov 2011. Thing chugged through BF5, but updating it means new mobo and new RAM so its bleh costly.

        It's not a massive ripoff. The Aussie dollar was above parity with the USD at the time.

        Here's the launch pricing of Intel CPUs since then without adjustment for inflation.

        https://images.anandtech.com/doci/13470/intel_historical_pri…

        I can't remember where I saw the graph in another review, but after inflation this release is on par with Sandy Bridge. Mostly as a result of AMD's comeback.

        You need to look at the real world, not just what you remember "back in the day". (I bought a 2500K at that time too.)

          Wow I didn't realise that $262 USD is now equal to $370 AUD. I knew the AUD had dropped but hadn't kept up with how much. I stand corrected. Sucks to buy anything made overseas at the moment. Which is most things.

      no point trading for this, anything past 4th gen is a mess. ryzen is the way to go.

        i wouldn't say its a mess. 7700k is a beauty.

        but yes price/performance ryzen for sure

          It's a shame most games benefit more from single core performance than multi core or else Ryzen CPUs would have dominated the market entirely.

  • Diji1 on 24/10/2018 - 14:13

    Paid $416 inc shipping for i5-8600K (previous generation CPU with the same core counts).

  • KARMAAA on 24/10/2018 - 14:16
    +1

    Just buy a 8600K, it's basically the same CPU with slightly lower clocks, but they both approximately overclock to around the same frequency since this is just a refresh on the same process.

    With all chips, it's a lottery, but really you can find an 8600K for $370 AUD and it's functionally the same when overclocked to the same frequency as both are 6 core and 6 thread processors. Stock performance is a different story because this has slightly higher clocks, but you could theoretically just OC to the same sort of voltages and frequency with an 8600k anyway.

    • troyww on 24/10/2018 - 14:20

      9th gen also has some hardware fixes for spectre and meltdown which can improve performance .

      • KARMAAA on 24/10/2018 - 14:35
        +1

        Sure, but Intel has only implemented hardware fixes for variant 3, Rogue Data Cache Load, and variant 5, L1 Terminal Fault.

        As for performance difference in games, the 8600k isn't really slower. In fact it's 99% of the performance of the 9600K. Just look at Anandtech's review of it if you don't believe me: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13400/intel-9th-gen-core-i9-9…

        The Spectre and Meltdown issue is largely not a problem for the 8000 vs the 9000 series, even though they technically don't have any hardware fixes for the 8000 series, the hardware fixes in the 9000 series still give a performance hit comparable to the software fixes.

    buy a 8600k and spend the savings getting it delidded and enjoy 5ghz

    • Kerjifire on 24/10/2018 - 14:24
      +2

      Depends though, the i5-9600k comes soldered and if you don't want to meddle around with delidding and don't want to void your warranty this would be the option for you. The i5-8600k also isn't aggressively cheaper at the moment tbh because of the chip shortage and all

      • The greatest Jape on 24/10/2018 - 15:13
        +1

        To be fair, it's basically been exposed that the "solder" on these chips is pretty much as bad as the older TIM.

        • magic8ballgag on 24/10/2018 - 15:51

          Source? From what I've read they were more of a necessity.

        • neferseki on 24/10/2018 - 17:49
          +1

          Thats a wrong statement. The solder is fine and when you aren't maxing out its clocks etc works just fine.

          But what is lowering the thermal performance is the fact that the CPU die is way way thicker than the older CPU die's. This means that the heat has to travel further through material with rather poor conductivity.

          If you just delid and add conductonaut you will see very little difference in temperature on the 9th gen chips. To really get any thermal performance gain you have to grind the die down to shave off -0.2mm or so.

          here is stock thermal performance of the i9 9900k which is pretty good.

      I have an 8700k not delidded running 5ghz with a noctua d15.

      Temps are fine.

  • Arnor on 24/10/2018 - 20:26

      I'm sure they'll be back in the next few days so check back then :)

  • lostn on 25/10/2018 - 00:31

    Keep in mind no hyperthreading on this gen's i7. You need i9 9900k for that now.

  • test123123 on 02/11/2018 - 19:38

    I want i7-9700K when will it be available again ?
