Intel releases Z390 on October 8th, 8-core CPUs two weeks later

Intel releases Z390 on October 8th, 8-core CPUs two weeks later

Rumors have filled the web the for weeks now, there are no seems to be a solid release date though: Z390 motherboards will be unveiled on October 8th as well as their availability. The new rumored Coffee Lake processors, however, would be released two weeks later.

So in short, Intel would release the Z390 chipset on October 8th. All motherboard partners will then announce the motherboards officially, and they will be available to order. Two weeks later the new 6 and 8-core CPUs will become available, which should be around the 19th or 20th of October. The new information was compiled and derived on Reddit from various sources.

The question remains how much availability/stock there will be with the recent 14nm shortages in production. If the stock is low, prices will likely inflate upwards real fast (let's hope not). Yesterday the first solid launch prices have been posted at Silicon Lottery (a website that sells binned CPUS) showing prices for the 8-core Core i9-9900K and i7-9700K. The rumored i9-9900K (8c/16t)) is listed there at USD $479.99, the i7-9700K (8c/8t) at $369.99, both would be non-binned versions. Exciting stuff, we'll see what happens though.

I would argue the 8600K is the perfect gaming CPU. 9700K is overkill in most cases, and will just draw more power for no real performance enhancement.
If you're a streamer then might as well just get an 8700K now, rather than wait.

It depends from the games you play. The 8600K is suffering in some new games like BF1/BF5/Assassins Creed Origins etc.., with very high usages already mate so the 9700K solution will be better for mins and avgs fps too! Btw it is always better to have more physical cores rather than having less cores with more virtual ones like with HT (in the case of the 8700K). But neither of those solutions is perfect for every workload unless you buy the i9 9900K.

Reason enough to upgrade from a Q6600?

2200g seems nice for you
