Amazon listing Intel Core i9 9900K with dandy packaging
Time is closing in for Intel to release the Core 9000 series processors. The flagship 8-core desktop mainstream processor, Intel's Core i9-9900K was briefly spotted at Amazon. It's not just that listing that caught interest, it displayed with a rather dandy packaging as well. Octagon anyone?
Intel's pending eight-core 16-thread processor was listed for $582 and Twitter user @momomo_us posted a screenshot of it all. The listing probably entails a bit of price gouging as we do expect the proc to sit under the 500 USD range. At Amazon, you can see the new packaging, which does hint a bit AMD'ish with the Threadripper release packaging and all.
Amazon was listing the Core i9-9900K as out of stock and did not show a release or shipment date. The listing did confirm that the processor has at least one Turbo running up to 5.0 GHz.

Hey thanks for the response buddy. Yeah no im not into high refresh rates and i game at 1440p and have not seen any reason to upgrade my cpu. Id probably buy a 6 core ryzen if i needed it. Im not really into gaming that much.
Well, if I was building a gaming PC today I wouldn't equip it with anything less than an i7-8700K, that's already the best gaming CPU & has all it's cores used when playing games like BF1 & BF V. I wouldn't choose anything less because I'm 144Hz 1080p, and I'd want the CPU to push those frames for the next 5 years or so, whilst surviving 2 (maybe 3) GPU upgrades. If you're not interested in 120Hz+ then Ryzen is probably a good bet.

Still eye balling this CPU. Not going to get it straight at release, but a month or 2 down the line I might.
I'm still on 1080p and also going for that 120/144 framerate and for that you need both IPC & cores.
It's still priced sensible... not great, but sensible. Unlike the GPU market... cough* NVIDIA RTX ... cough*
I'm honestly hoping AMD pulls something out of their hat and I get to buy my first AMD GPU in a few months. Competition is a good thing, which we've clearly seen in 2018's CPU market. Now I just hope AMD does something similar in the GPU market.

Yeah, that way you would get good value high core count goodness, which is more future proof in itself. I'd go for an 8 core Ryzen though, I think it would give more years of useful service.

HA! I game @ /1080p/1440p & 140Hz on a Ryzen 1700 OC @ 4GHz with a more then pleasant experience and more then few $$$ saved. And by the way Intel & upgrades doesn't even sound right in the same sentence, unless you are speaking of upgrading your board too. Oh yea, and my x370 board will more then likely support Zen 2, since we are talking about upgrades. Do some research before making those stupid claims buddy.

I believe the pricing with the way they currently have their CPU's priced i mean they don't even try to compete on price i hope they start to hurt soon.
