Coffee Lake scarce in Scandinavia, no K-models until 2018

[zelange]

This is just a rumor from SweClockers.com, based on a couple of Swedish retailers who say "the availability of Intel Coffee Lake is low on launch day and that they only get a "handful of". In addition, one of SweClocker's contacts speaks that no Nordic distributor received the unlocked Core i7-8700K, Core i5-8600K, and Core i3-8350K without launching sales with the locked sibling models Core i7-8700, Core i5-8400 and Core i3- 8100th". So this is probably click-bait, or an attempt to boost initial sales, or an excuse to price gouge.

Winter is coming, we'll just go with Skylake-X to keep warm.

Then maybe I could interest you in a couple of R9 290's

Aw, I feel bad that people might not be capable of having this processor for so long, in fact by the time it gets available it will be "worth waiting canonlake" any ways.

 

Lets see how it goes here in Brazil, I should be selling the i7 6700+mobo+ram this next week already, won't have a personal desktop until I can get the 8700k and the cheapest asus z370 possible

But you dont like Ks what is this?

There are 8700ks available to buy in Scandinavia today if you buy a prebuilt machine.

You can't expect it to be in stock before it's supposed to be available.

Well it was 100% truth in Skylake and Kaby Lake but now that we have 6 cores on the latest IPC available the frequency weights a little more than it used to on quad-cores.

 

If I was on a budget I'd still go locked i7 on Intel's cheapest not yet announced chipset, but this rig I'm planning will break the bank hehe
