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.
