I can't believe intels latest cpu is out....the only cpu worth upgrading to right now imo for anyone with an i7 870/2500k/3770k/4770k/4790k/6700k/7700k and there is no supply and and no 8 core version.
Stopping selling what already wasn't selling...I want to know when people can finally buy what's in demand.
Skylake x and the low supply for coffeelakr have got to be the worst organisef year in intels existence.
You've got a 6 core killer that costs the exact same as what I paid for my $6700k....and they woulf be flying off shelves if there was stock....and no one can get them :S

I think this is big hit for those who got Intel i7 6000 series cpu's,AMD Ryzen made them to wake up and start doing something with it! that's why i never grab the latest stuff out,i will wait for new PCI-Express 5.0 and new DDR5 RAM.

I wasn't aware these CPUs were still in production... It wouldn't surprise me if they're still selling better than their X299 counterparts, simply because they're overall better values.
Damn I wasn't aware DDR5 was so close to a release date (I just looked it up: planned for 2018). DDR4 sure didn't last long - it'll have been replaced in 4 years. Compare that to DDR3, which lasted 11 years. Seems a little premature to be planning DDR5 considering DDR4 still has issues. But yeah, I think waiting ought to be a good idea, especially for PCIe 5.0 (I personally find 4.0 to be a waste of time, unless you want 10Gbps Ethernet).
