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.
