After all the gossip and chatter, Intel decided to make the Core i9-10850K official, basically to stay price-performance competitive against AMD's offering.

Zooming in on the specs you can see 10 cores and 20 threads, a 3.6GHz base frequency and 5.2GHz boost frequency. Line that up against the i9-10900K and you'll see that proc has a base frequency of 3.7GHz and boost at 5.3GHz, so we're looking at an i9-10900K running 100MHz less. It remains to be a simple Geekbench leak, nothing else is known about the processor, it is not clear if it is a model that will be sold in the market, or that it'll find its way into pre-assembled systems. It is a K model though, multiplier unlocked.

Update: the processor has been spotted, costs 453 USD and will be used in pre-fabricated systems.

Update #2: Whoo there horsy, look at that. The processor has been spotted in retail with some SKU listings after all. it looks like the product will be available at some etailers.

Update #3: July 27th, 2020. Intel now has officially released the product and added it to its slide decks. It's the value proposition towards the 10900K at a more reasonable price, here's the product stack.

Unless they have binning issues for the i9 I don't really get why this exists? As it's a K model you could just overclock it to the full i9-9900 in 5 seconds.

judging by the facts that 10900K are a ghost product, other than celebrities almost nobody can buy them (still says 3 months here and it always said that) and my very recent 9900k is near non-overclockable that's my guess too, they cannot make 10900K so they are selling what they can make
p.s. I have yet to seee someone saying he has "1" 10900K they all seem to have 20 of them despite the fact you cannot buy them....whatever the reason is, way to make people buy something else, if they are in such a small amount selling 30 of them to people like DerBauer is just stupid

no stock in France,Germany,Switzerland,Italy
stop stealing our 10900k Norwegians damn it's the vikings all over again (joking don't really care)

good for you but...you're actually proving my point "I have 3" again someone who doesn't only have one, is clearly a pro/semi-pro overclocker and is taking cpus from other users in other countries, no normal customers has 3-10-20 same cpus
Intel is making a crap job of spreading them and all those new/different customers go to AMD

There's no stock in the UK either right now.

One store says it's getting stock @ 1st August and the other says 14th August.
