Newegg sells z170 motherboards but not skylake CPUs?

The Pizza Thief · August 10, 2015

Hey guys, I just purchased a new z170 motherboard today from Newegg, I knew the i7-6700k was not available to buy from Newegg yet, my question is, why is the i5 already out but the i7 is still listed as "coming soon"

I would really like to get this setup running as soon as the motherboard arrives but I'm not sure when the processor will be out.

You can only get the CPU's in bundles.

What do you mean?

Right now, you can only get the CPU's in bundles with the Z170A boards.

So, I got the more expensive z170 deluxe board, how come it didn't ask me if I wanted the CPU at the time ? Can you link me to the "bundles" section ?

Hrm, they probably stopped as it could have been only for the release day.
