NCIX lists down the Core i7-6800K for $629.99 US, the Core i7-6850K for $889.99 US, the Core i7-6900K for $1495.99 US and the Core i7-6950X for $2349.99 US. Now I need to make one thing clear is that these are not the final prices are merely pre-order prices. The actual MSRP for Intel Broadwell-E chips will be significantly lower.

NOTE: The quote above is verbatim but they mistakenly said the prices are USD. The prices listed are actually CAD (see NCIX site), not USD.

 

I will probably be grabbing a 6800k once we start seeing reviews and the prices match MSRP. If the improvement just isn't worth it and the 5820k drops in price I may grab that instead but I'm leaning towards the 6800k. I'm hoping the official MSRP comes out below 400USD.

 

Anyone else know they're going to Broadwell-E? What are you upgrading from? (for me it's from an FX-8120, so a huge step-up)

Why the 6800K so pricey  

Maybe MicroCenter will have my back on this one.

[TidaLWaveZ]

6800k will be right around $400

It's a pre-order, they're riding the hype. As soon as they officially release, or more retailers have access the price will quickly fall to MSRP.

They sure did with the 5820k.

Hey sorry, I didn't see it. I just cross posted to the CPU forum too so I'll delete that post. I'll leave this one up in news though.

 

Edit: Apparently I'm too dumb to figure it out... how do you delete a post?

NCIX lists down the Core i7-6800K for $629.99 US, the Core i7-6850K for $889.99 US, the Core i7-6900K for $1495.99 US and the Core i7-6950X for $2349.99 US. Now I need to make one thing clear is that these are not the final prices are merely pre-order prices.

holy jezuz that's insane!  $2350 for a CPU - like, a normal CPU (not a xeon)... wow, that's more than most people's whole systems   I assume as others are saying that these are not final, but why would preorder prices be so high?  Should preorder prices be ... you know... lower, to actually give people an incentive to preorder?  I mean, there's really not any other benefit - your giving up money now for a product you won't have for a while, you're passing up the opportunity to let other s review them first before paying, etc etc. the whole point of a preorder is for it to be cheaper.  Why make them so insane!?

 

And that would be ~$3000 CAD, just based on current exchange rate alone, which means it will probably be more like $3300, just 'cuz

Completely with you there... No one in their right mind should order one until the price goes down to MSRP.

 

If you go to the link for NCIX it's listed for 2339CAD which is 1838USD, which is still 338USD too much.

Xeons are normal CPUs

 

Also preorders are only ever cheaper to incentivize funding, Intel doesn't need funding or to incentivize people to buy because they know people will buy it anyway

[oskarha]

Lol i already own a 6800k

 

An a10 6800k 

And its rubbish

you know what I mean.  It's a desktop CPU for desktop (albeit very enthusiast-level) rigs.  It's not an 18 core server chip

Isn't that the sad truth

Can you point  out that the prices are in CAD, not USD.

You put US but the prices on NCIX are CAD.

See my edit above, I didn't change the quote since well... it's a quote. But I added a note under it that states the correction.

[SurvivorNVL]

Depressing on the actual price of the 6950X being around $1500.  Oh, well.  This 5820k shall last me until Cannonlake-E and X-Point/Optane or until skylake-E, as I am an impatient bastard.  

[Benasurus]

Yeah it's only the die shrink of Haswell, hopefully Skylake-EP and Purley will make for a bigger increase in performance with Skylake-E.

[MrCthuntoo]

Now I have to ask myself, do I buy one now, or wait for the 1080ti and upgrade all at once 

[CTR640]

Damned AMD, can't you do even make good CPU's that are more powerfull than Broadwell-E??????????

Intshit basically can ask any price they want because of lack of competition. Man, fuck AMD then!

 

And the prices! It's literally almost the price of two PC system!!!! My system is with i7-4770, GTX780 and 16GB RAM and two HDD each 1TB.

In 2013 it did cost me 1300 euros.

So if you're actually interested: In 2013 Euros, the i7-5960X would cost about 1,125 Euros. So not quite the cost of your computer... but still expensive.

I'm buying one when it releases (although my CPU really needs an upgrade asap) then grabbing a flagship Pascal once I decide my 980 isn't cutting it anymore.

The naming was already a mess, but with skylake they really started overlapping things.  I can see they have no intention of avoiding that in the future.  Why intel!?

I bought the 4770 and it was cheap at that time, 269 euros to be exact.

The sad thing about the whole situation is that the prices are in USD.  It's not a conversion or anything, if you look them up they will have USD displayed next to the price. NCIX and NCIXUS both list these prices in USD and they correlate with correct prices for currently available CPU's. Way too expensive for a preorder upsale, not expensive enough to be listed as to not be sold.
