8700k price. WTH

[The Torrent]

Why on earth has the price increased by £100 in last week?! It should be going down with intel 9 gen rumoured in 3 and a bit days.  wtffff

[d3adc3II]

Nowsaday hardware stuff is like stock exchange, price keep going up and down. 

 

2700x is ur friend. 

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

they are preparing for the 9th gen 

bye intel

[aezakmi]

normal people on normal countries when a price goes up

 

me watching a store selling a 2080Ti for $4000 knowing my predictions were right

I bet 8th will go down a bit but still much higher than msrp and 9th gen would inflate much more

the PC market have gone crazy in price from excuse of supply demand, see ram, gpu, ssd in past years and still havent been fully settled

 

why not amd?

No amd.

the post just say i7 9700K will be cheaper than 8700k, but already not anymore

and its a 8c8t comparing to 6c12t

no one can tell, wait and see it inflate

Just spoke on discord with some people.

 

they say the reason is that intel is switching to TSMC, so it should be back down soon.

 

case solved. Amd avoided (phew...)

A lot of hate for AMD here, rofl. Btw,

 

Intel now changes their strategy so the new i9 is equivalent to current i7 

 

So they removed Hyperthreading from I7 9700k and make i9 9900k compatible with current platform Z370 and will directly compete with Ryzen 2700K.

 

Wise or wrong move ? let's wait and see.

I KNOW RIGHT. EVEN IN MY COUNTRY!!! I wanted to buy the i5 8400 but now it costs more than the 8600k.. And don't get me started on the 8700k. 

 

I am tired of the market. Everything costs 40% more than it used to 4 years ago. The prices are going up but the salaries stay the same

Afaik they only switch to TSMC for their chipsets and go back to 22nm due to production issues. We don't really know if Intel raised prices prior to their 9th gen introduction (so that the i9 doesn't look as terribly expensive as it does now at ~ $500+) or if this is related with Intel's general production issues and Intel just can't meet demand. 

 

Still: AMD, AMD, AMD, AMD. Just to bother a die hard, irrational Intel fanboy who just ignores the fact that Ryzen is price/performance wise a no brainer right now. Sure, IPC is a little bit better on Intel's side but you'll have to pay for it.

It won't, MSRP is a joke.

 

Offer and demand is the only thing that matters.

I disagree, in my opinion I’ve always seen i7 as ‘top of the range for standard users’ cpu’s, removing hyperthreading in my opinion does not reduce an i7 down to a i5 as it still has a much higher clock speed.

Some places still selling it at a decent price, sorry for the rest of the world tho...

The point is that there's no need to remove hyperthreading on the i7 or mess up the lineup more, Ryzen manages to do fine with everything R5 and above having SMT. 

 

Also like everyone else said, why the AMD hate? Intel is pretty dank (I have an 8600K at 5GHz, thing is a freaking monster of a gaming CPU), but AMD's Ryzen offerings are also amazing (Have a Ryzen 7 2700X in my main rig, it's pretty baller and not that much behind the 8600K in most games).

Double post, sorry.

it's a just a mentality of value vs performance, i don't think most people consider that price sorta goes exponential on the top end, or intel users like to brag about it after paying more. 

 

Everyone has their own opinion and it's really hard not to push it on others sometimes, like me for example, I get triggered when some1 recommends a 8400 over a 2600x, or a 2700x over a 8700k for a main gaming rig with a 2080 ti (both of these cases are ridiculous to me and they happen often), personally there's no way i can go amd with my main gaming rig.

 

That said, both intel and AMD have their place and you are just seeing extreme opinions, same thing happens for gpus, human nature.
