Canadian etailer publishes Intel 8th Gen Desktop CPU prices

Canadian etailer publishes Intel 8th Gen Desktop CPU prices

If all pre-announcements and rumors have been right, tomorrow Intel will announce their 8th gen Core desktop processors. In Canada at an etailer called PC Canada, the prices have leaked.

It seems that prices are going upwards a bit, the Core i7 8700K would be roughly 5% more expensive, the i5 8600K nearly 8%. The rest stays under a 5% margin. Website videocardz spotted these results:

  • INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I7-8700K PROCESSOR [BX80684I78700K]: $484.44
  • INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I7-8700 PROCESSOR [BX80684I78700]: $407.73
  • INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I5-8600K PROCESSOR [BX80684I58600K]: $338.00
  • INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I5-8400 PROCESSOR [BX80684I58400]:  $237.58
  • INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I3-8350K PROCESSOR [BX80684I38350K]: $233.41
  • INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I3-8100 PROCESSOR [BX80684I38100]: $152.51

The release tomorrow should be a paper launch as there are no processors available or stock to be found anywhere. For more info on the specififcation of these coffee lake processors, have a look here.

Processor Line7th Gen8th GenDifference
Core i7-x700K $462.41 $484.44 +4.8%
Core i7-x700 $406.35 $407.73 +0.3%
Core i5-x600K $313.95 $338.00 +7.7%
Core i5-x400 $235.87 $237.58 +0.7%
Core i3-x350K $241.82 $233.41 -3.5%
Core i3-x100 $149.08 $152.51 +2.3%

Mind you these are CAD prices not listed at USD. So the 8700K at 484.44 would be 389 USD and 329 Euro. These prices would be exclusive of VAT. PC Canada has not delivery ETA yet mentions that the procs are estimated to arrive  on 2017-09-16

Nice to see that many of you are putting into the dark the intel cpu's and at the same time manifesting the indifference for the Ryzen bug which does affect the gcc compilator and as it seems few others compilators as well.
Probably many of you do spend their time on a Windows machine by playing games, surfing and launching synthetic benchmarks but the reality is that no company within the big two is the best choice right now.
Intel made itself an auto goal with the last coffe lake decision to do not support x270 series motherboards and AMD repeated itself once again by the history - during all the time prior to the Ryzen release no one has it tested on a Linux machine as it had to be done!
Once again AMD is completely snobbing the Linux system and is doing it the best way it can, this should be enough to leave the Ryzen processors and the Vega gpus where they should be, on the shelve.
Many of you are running to buy AMD products by paying probably no much attention on the fact that the AMD company is not an angelic one and that it it is not better then Intel.
Intel on its counterpart does test their cpu's on the Linux and Unix like systems...want to see how many Apple pc's and notebook's will be released in the next future based on the Ryzen arch? Want to see how many Linux servers will be equipped with the Ryzens? Probably zero.
AMD was smart enought for having addressed the Ryzen bug by the arrival of the Threadripper's.
So from the AMD point of view it seems that Ryzens are made for playing and toying while the Threadrippers are for scholars and engineers.
And to say the last, Intel did always retired their faulty cpu's at their own cost...AMD is not doing the same with their awesome Ryzen's.

Well this looks like another stupid decision by Intel in a long line of stupid decisions. They seem to think they're still operating as a monopoly and are refusing to see the elephant in the room called Ryzen. Coffee Lake is potentially going to be a flop for Intel because they're effectively locking out all owners of Z100/200 from upgrading without buying yet another mobo with virtually the same specification. It's crazy. I only bought my 7700K and Z270 mobo in January when KL launched and now they've ended my upgrade path. Gee thanks Intel. As and when I'm ready to move to 6/8 core Intel will not even be a consideration. I'm not giving any money to a company that is so blatantly trying to shaft me LMAO. I only went Intel this time because I was concerned with the rumours regarding Ryzen CPU's which turned out to be well founded. As AMD are supporting AM4 for at least the next 3 to 4 years that won't be a problem when I next decide to upgrade. If CL does begin to flop it wouldn't surprise me if CL suddenly became backwards compatible to keep people like me on board and stop us from buying Ryzen chips with more cores and for less money. Time will tell I guess.

What makes you think AMD require a new socket every time? Zen+ will likely be compatible, Zen 2 will be on AM4+ socket. That's their 7 nm processor in the works, it makes sense that a new socket would be required or for maximum benefit.

I'm guessing that Intel originally had Coffee Lake planned for much later. I think they would have liked to milk KB and KB-X a bit more but felt pressured to respond to Ryzen.

Well since socket 1366/2011 intel fucked up completely with 1155,1156,1150,1151 etc etc they could made one fucking future proof socket but no they have to milk every fucking segment of customers well intel FU..

Just how AMD did with the Bulldozer.
