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.

You guys are really off topic no one cares about CPU's from 10 years ago let alone 5 years ago.
For the 9th Gen it would be best focused on what hardware fixes will Intel provide against Spectre and Meltdown.

It seems the endless rumors and speculation over Nvidia's next-gen GPUs has now turned into endless rumors and speculations about Intel's 9000 series. And much like the Turing GPUs, the 9000 CPUs will probably largely be paper launches - with shortages expected well into 2019, Intel will likely delay or limit these chips in favor of their enterprise customers.
In short, don't hold your breath for these chips.

Q6600 has been badly affected by the spectre/meltdown mitigation patches though. Stock clocks on it are unbearable. My Q6600 system is still in use in my Dad's PC Q6600 + X38 + DDR2 1066MHz - I had it clocked to 3GHz as a nice cool and quiet OC but now with that overclock, performance is like as if it was at stock clocks, it's pretty much essential to have over 3GHz overclock now.
Also, before Spectre, at 1080p if you wanted to play Battlefield 4, you needed at least 3.4GHz on the CPU if you wanted to hit 60fps average (I could get my chip to 3.51GHz max stable).
yeah 60 fps with 24 players
