Intel Core i9-10850K $449 10-Core Alternative is now Official, priced 453 USD
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.

Yes but, the difference in power consumption between both CPUs is also HUGE. Is not just better binning.
3700X is capped at 88W (Stock BIOS settings)
3800X is capped at 142W (Again, Stock BIOS settings).
So the better binned 3800X has a stock power limit that is 61% higher than 3700X for a little more performance.
I don't have a 3800X. But If I had one, I think I'd use it at lower (more energy friendly and optimal) PPT.
i think is kind of the same thing like the 3700x is to 3800x slightly lower bin for lower price

If Intel is inserting what is, I think, a previously unannounced SKU into their product stack in the form of the 10850K, one would think that they must have a fair number of them on hand to allow them to do so. Given that they're *this* close to being a 10900K, but still didn't quite make the cut, is interesting. Especially when the full-on 10900K is seemingly in demand, and apparently quite scarce.
I wonder just what sort of yields Intel is realizing with regard to the flagship CPU?

to be honest there is no real reason to buy intel, locked chips, less features, no future proof, need highend motherboards for features that amd has on sub $100 products. Name me anything that intel does beter than amd. (aside from pissing off clients and fans)

well yeah they still come from the same wafers the 3800x is better bin, that said i would agree the 3800x has a much better bin my example was unfortunate change it to 3800x to 3800xt
