Well in my honest opinion, i think it it €100-€120 too much, comparing with the price tag on caseking.de
The new coffee lake I7 is 7.56% faster then the 1600X at stock speed, using the leaked benchmarks by intel, it uses "Colgate TIM" vs soldered on AMD.
And people should stock comparing the new I7 with ryzen 7, the best and most honest comparison is vs 1600X.
My 1600X is a gold cpu (got lucky) it is clocked to 4.2GHZ all clocks with just 1.362V, and its uses a cheap air cooler and i manage to stay under 68ºC all the time. But the for all the ryzens that i build until now i have always managed to get 4.1 on the 1600X using no more then 1.37V.
I still think that at 1080 or 1440 the 1600X is king with either a RX 580/GTX1060 for 1080P, GTX1070/GTX1080/GTX1080TI/RXVEGA56 for 1440P. Because the difference in performance at 1080p is not more then 2 digit,

In aus the 7700k is $459 and the 1800x is $659....even if the 8700k was $659 it would still be a way better cpu for the money, especially for gamers.

I wish our prices were that nice...
But other than that, people don't usually buy the 1800x by the looks of it, since they are all unlocked, unlike Intel's offerings where you need to pay separately for every single little functionality. That being said, I'm sure these Coffee Lakes will kick ass. Too bad they are a few years late already.

Looks like i5 8600K is going to be closer to 300 euros over here if it's that much in Germany already. Not that it'd matter to me personally with Intel's decision of dropping the support of the previous two chipset gens.
