i7-9700k when release estimation?

[Bayonett Priest]

i am in the process of buying my parts together for a monster gaming pc worth 3000€+ when someone said that a new coffelake i7 processor is releasing(9700k) in september. it isnt official presented jet. how long does it take from the presentation untill release?

[Jurrunio]

2 months usually, but who knows if it's worth buying at that point.

 

With a budget that big, the 9900k is what you should aim for, not the 9700k

Indeed. The 9700K actually has less threads than the 8700K it's replacing (8 vs 12).

im just asking myselfe when they get released then i will get the most powerfull, BUT for the i7 series there exists a delidding tool that perfectly does the deliddingprocess so i need to ask: do the i7 and i9 have the same formatsize? i would use the deli-die-mate 2 from der 8auer

the CPU package will be the same size as 8th gen CPUs (they fit in the same motherboards), but the die underneath the lid could be larger

well lets see i mailed the manuifacterer to ask! My main concern now is when it gets released cause my fx-8350 is slowly but surely giving up

9700k/9900k could have soldered IHS, so you may not even need delidding

when this is true that wouold mean intel turned away from tim and are finaly thinking,maybie Intel thought: "Why do all the people delidd our cpus? is it that bad?"

then i will wait for these new cpus, from the specs and ihs it looks super great
