Intel Core i9 9900KS seems to be going EOL
We reviewed it back in November, the Intel Core i9 9900KS, Intels' premium processor running an all-core 5 GHz seems to have been going EOL as availability if the processor is dropping massively, and prices are going up.
Overall, this is not big news as Intel has clearly indicated that the 8-core processor would be a limited edition production run. If you want one as it is probably the fastest gaming processor your money can get you, you better get it now as prices have increased roughly 50~75 EUR overall already. You could wait on the next-gen desktop processors of course, but that requires the investment of a a new motherboard as they will be socket LGA1200 based.

I had a feeling when you thin bin what is already a thin binned product aka the 9900K they would have a hard time making many of these. This was a halo product just to get it in review charts to go up against AMD.

Also remember that the 9900KS would keep people away from buying the 10700KF, because the 9900KS could end up being faster then the newer 8 core, 10.000 series.
