4930K is out. Newegg is calling it an "Extreme Edition".

If you buy it with the video card $1333 , you can "SAVE UP TO $17.00
WHEN YOU PURCHASE THESE ITEMS TOGETHER" lol 😀

Pretty certain that they lack onboard graphics totally. Which means that die sizes shouldn't be much more than quads with IGPs. Which means that Intel is CLEARLY price-gouging enthusiasts.

Wonder why Newegg taped over the front of the box and obliterated the cpu's name in their photo? Odd.

"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE EXTREME"-ness, that isn't even a true extreme-edition CPU.

For the last time, Newegg, and everyone else that makes this mistake, the -E platform does NOT stand for "Extreme", it stands for "Enthusiast".

Where are the WMC when you need them, for a class action against Newegg for misrepresentation of product.
 
MicroCenter charges tax, theres on in california lol 530 and 40 dollars tax.... so 570 for the 4930k ubber chip
that I am enjoying now
 
$579 is horrid? I remember coughing up $750 for a 386-33 back in the day and another $700 for the mobo. Man, stop *whining.*

I have to say though, Newegg's discounts these days are just pathetic. Their big edge is they get the cutting edge stuff in stock. None of the others (TankGuys, etc.) are even close. Of course, if there's another online option I haven't heard of...

Yup. This is a true 6 core die, as well, and not a 8 core die like SB-E was. It's a die with fewer cores, on a smaller process node- it should be a LOT smaller than the SB-E die was. These prices are just abusive.

Yes it is horrid.

I also had Pentium 60 which cost an absurd amount of money.
It does not matter nowadays though - if x86 CPUs would return to prices in times when only relatively small number of enthusiasts had them - I would stop buying them. Peroid.

Sorry I value money and pc hardware nowadays diffrently. Because it's value is actually diffrent. PC and generally IT nowadays is extremly mainstream and economy nowadays is diffrent. (yes wages are higher, but i.e. energy, childcare, good healthy non-trash food or health care prices increased even more than wages did in last 20 years).

So stop whining about others whining.
