Core i9 9900K - i7 9700K and 9600K Pricing Surfaces in Online Shops
It is expected that three new Intel processors in the 9000 series would launch October 1st, the Core i9 9900K and i7 9700K. Fot three models prices have been spot here in the EU.
Intel's soon the be most high-end desktop processor the Core i9-9900K is the same 8-core part, yet now with HyperThreading enabled (16-threads). This processor has some interesting stuff, it can do 5.0 GHz on a single and dual-core turbo frequency. Also really interesting, it'll do a boost up to 4.7 GHz on all cores.
The Core i7 9700K is an eight-core and eight-thread processor (that's right no Hyperthreading) with a boost up to 4.9 GHz on one single-core. However, it can turbo at 4.6 GHz maximum on all cores.
The Core i5 9600K is the 6 core 6 threaded part (no Hyper threading either) running 3.7 and 4.6 base /turbo frequencies. The three processors now have surfaced in some webshops with the following prices tagged on it:
- Intel Core i5 9600K - EUR 299
- Intel Core i7 9700K - EUR 567
- Intel Core i9 9900K - EUR 732
The webshops that had these prices online already removed the pages before a screenshot was possible. However I have added some screenshots from a shop still listing them higher prices, yet ex VAT. The new procs should be launched on October 1 and will have soldered heatspreaders.
As so often, that webshop CentralPoint expects to have them in stock on September 7th, we doubt that very much though. Remember, often prices are not yet representative during early listing and preorders.

Only CPU worth grabbing from this lineup is i9 9900k, the price is absurd for 14nm+++~ Tech.
Wait for next year, Zen 2 comes out with potentially even more cores, lower temps, solder, higher Clock / PPC (compared to gen 1 Zen) for most likely a fraction of this cost.

I'm curious to know what Intel is doing with the 6 core part I mean did they tweak the die to just not have hyperthreading because that seems wasteful to make a 6core 12thread part only to have all of the extra threads disabled

I am not that much surprised with i5/i7 having no HT. And price tag is as expected. (Atrocious.)
If anyone wonders why intel delivers 6 and 8 core CPU w/o HT, it is simple.
With all those side channel attacks, it is recommended to disable SMT (HT) on intel platform. In other words, in not so far future HT may be seen as poor value in i7. And one would consider 6C/6T i5 equal to 6C/12T i7.
Therefore they went for real core count distinction. And with i9, they do not expect that many sales anyway.
i5-9600K seems to be best band for the buck if CPU is to be placed on currently existing board.
i7-9700K is best bang for buck if price of entire system is taken into consideration.
i9-9900K is quite some bet on survival of HT for extra $165
But, how does current i7-8700K with 6C/12T fits in with $360 MSRP? With working HT i7-8700K equals i7-9700K in multithreaded/productivity tasks.

what insane pricing
I really dont understand, what is the point of this if you can buy x299 for less today, which all intents and purposes will perform very similarly or better in almost any workload at the same clock speeds, and has more features.

the 7820x is on sale for 440 euros including vat right now btw.
