overclockers.co.uk have pre-binned 5Ghz versions for £500, 5.1Ghz for £600 or 5.2Ghz for £800 in-stock. Normal ones are £360, but, pre-order only.
Wow - I just checked here in the EU a bit, does anybody see the procs released today listed as available / in stock?

Nice review.
The 8700K is about what I expected, no real surprises. It's a stellar overclocker and perfect for gamers who want more multithreading performance.
Nope. Out of stock on Newegg.

Sjeeshuzzz they are milking their customers, £800 is it just me or is that retarded ? ... most if not all stock 8700K procs will already do 5.1 GHz.
£800 is like 899 euros / 1050 USD

Seems like the first Intel CPU in years that has a decent price to performance ratio.
The 1600X may be more similar in terms of total thread count, but I think the 1700X is a more direct competitor when you consider the differences in clock speed and price.
You can compare a CPU two ways: price, or core count. HH chose core count, it's not wrong and is very informative. Before making a purchase decision though, I'll look at a price comparison first.
