MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING X review
Silicon Lottery has listed prices for Core i9-9900K and i7-9700K.
Interesting, remember the guy from Silicon Lottery, that binned Core i7 4790K Processor binned for 5.0 GHz operation that we reviewed. Well, he has posted prices for the 8-core Core i9-9900K and i7-9700K
First off this, all 9000 series processors are tagged as sold out, and we doubt he already had stock available, but he would certainly know something about pricing. So the i9-9900K (8c/16t)) is listed at USD $479.99, and the i7-9700K (8c/8t) at $369.99, both would be non-binned versions We wonder if these prices will hold ground with the 14nm production shortage that Intel faces. With limited stock available, prices could rise upwards at retailers shortly after or during the launch time windows.
These prices seem on fairly par with what we reported earlier on though.

looks like all those sub 500$ 7820x's are gone now, hope it was worth the wait if you were holding out for this.

Binned 9700K CPUs are coming soon to Silicon Lottery! Stay tuned here for information on Coffee Lake-R binning:

I don't know, maybe I'm blind, but in your link and the overclock.net thread, they still don't give any intel on their clocks as of right now. I was just commenting on it because the price is pretty meaningless without knowing what they actually offer. It's just placeholders right now (as they say themselves in the thread you linked), so technically not even worth the news (no offense intended Hilbert).

you're fine, tbh, i too am disappointed they didn't show their binning results yet.

Does non-binned mean "fail"? What makes CPU non-binned, how far can it clock?
Why would someone want to buy non-binned CPU, if its price the same as retailer?
Man, news are hard to swallow these days.

The pic states boxed products, so these are not binned by Silicon Lottery and you take your chances just as normal.
You receive the product sealed as you would from any other retailer selling the boxed version.
On the other hand, buying an unspecified speed 'tray' version from any retailer that sells OC'd products is of course going to get you one that failed to be good enough to sell at a premium. Pre-built systems are the place well known retailers dump their not so great chips.

Once they bin the chips they will post there methods along with which board and voltages was used etc. Im sure they will go through a couple 20 packs of CPU's to get overclocking percentages. If the chip can't hit there first bin bucket with n voltage then its a factory / stock CPU.

This is probably the first i7 in 5 years that had a reasonable price. I still have no intention on buying or recommending it (gamers are better off with an 8600K, workstations are better off with a Ryzen 7) but the price of the 9700K is otherwise decent for what you're getting.

Hope you are joking, SLI/NVlink scales anywhere from 80% to -5% performance boost and a system like that would cost 3000$ minimum.
Me myself choice to buy a car instead of buying a system like that.
I know the 9900k is just a 8700k with 2 ekstra cores glued on, so the performance should be predictable, but at least wait for the prices to settle, because some rumors would suggest, that the 9900k would be over MSRP.
The 9900K paired with two RTX 2080ti is currently my target spec if anything in my current rig breaks. But as long as my current rig keeps purring along and I don't really need the new features on the RTX cards, I'll wait.

Wait, let me get this right, these guys are buying CPUs, overclocking them and then selling a used OCd CPUs for more then a new one?
Basically they're ensuring a chip will hit a certain frequency at a certain voltage under a certain temperature.
Also edited post, not cool.

This is also the first i7 without HT - a massive downgrade, IMO. Also, I doubt these chips will be widely available - due to the shortage, enterprise customers will get priority. There is no way Intel would focus on releasing 8-core chips to enthusiasts when large businesses are demanding their Xeons.
