9900k not listed anymore. I guess it won't stay at this price very long.
Anyway I think $500 is quite expensive compared to a R7 2700(x) and Threadripper 1920x that are both cheaper. Let see if in real life, it is worth the price once it's out.
I will wait 2020 to change my i7 6950x just bought 4 months ago for just about $650 but for real, it cost me $450 by getting rid of my 5820k. A fair price for this 10 core @ 4.4GHz.

500$ I thought it would be more, with the price escalation with the intel's cpus ... But even so salty ...

I don't the i5 9600k would be any kind of upgrade over the i5 8600k. Mine is at 5.0ghz, and if I delid it could hit 5.2ghz. I could see the 9900k as one though.

This mess is only happening because Intel was caught pants down by AMD, and the Intel brass had no clear plans for how to proceed. So, they are pumping out CPUs with little thought to how the whole selection looks from generation to generation from now on. Whether the HT is enabled in a particular CPU model is seemingly decided with a coin.

I thought that HT would have been standardized by now with all of the Ryzen chips on the market?

This is just the intro price - I wouldn't be surprised to see $600 a week after release (and that's assuming that this isn't just another (semi-)paper launch).

It's a trap. Many will go for CPU without HT. Intel cashes in... People get product which will have to be replaced sooner.
But buying intel's chips today is for someone who is willing to spend extra for minor difference in some specific workload. So, they are surely willing to pay for upgrade next year anyway.

What are you blabbering about, most people upgrade every 4, 6 or even 10 years only.

About value. Buy 6C/6T or 8C/8T over-expensive chip which has lower longevity than cheaper alternative with HT.
If you are someone who is willing to pay extra for that ST performance, then you are someone willing to upgrade more often.

I'd like to buy one, but I have to wait for 9th gen PICMG SHB.

I wonder if they come with the Spectre/Meltdown patches applied or will they bench the shit out of them and wait for someone else to point out the vulnerability is still there and never re-bench.

way to go Intel. of course they've had (and still have) a way to go...
i was extremely worried that Intel would miss the $500 target, which although overpriced is still within reason.
the elaborate branding and premier pricing...
well of course it sucks, but you get that awesome Dungeons and Dragons die...err box.
this is why i constantly want to b*tch-slap Intel marketing. i guarantee they spent more time and resources designing and manufacturing that box than they did on logistics for the release of the cpu.
