If that was the case, then everyone wouldn't have 6700K. But they do.
Not in NA.

Check the Xeon E5-1620V3. Its a mere Quad Core, but it should be around 100 U$D cheaper than the 5820K, has the full 40 PCIe Lanes like the 5930K, and supports Registered+ECC DDR4 RAM. A worthy entry level contender for the LGA 2011-3 platform.I want the 5820K or really the 5830K for the extra lanes (I want the extra lanes for a Hyper-V or XEN project I have in mind, think assignment of multiple GPU's and NIC's for one PC to rule them all type of box) but I'm pretty disappointed that these chips are artificially limited to 64GB of RAM. Perhaps 64GB will be plenty for 6 cores but will it when the 8 or 10 core Broadwell chips arrive?
Anyways if the 5830K is still $399 US in a few weeks I'll likely grab that as even with the exchange difference that's almost half the price.

Hah, I just maybe got super lucky. Snagged a 5930K + MSI ATX motherboard from TD for less than what Microcenter sells their current combo's for. Pricing error I think.

Now I just need RAM. Because I want to max out the RAM I'll probably go with 4x16GB now and then switch over to a 8 or 10 core Xeon Broadwell sometime next year and up with 128GB if needed. Probably should grab ECC now even if it'll be unused so I don't have to rebuy next year. Hopefully there exists higher performing ECC RAM.
That's $150 more than I paid for the i7 5820k and the same motherboard. Maybe they are just repricing it, and they did it before MC.
Except this is a 5930K, not a 5820K.
Yes, and exactly how much better is a 5930K? Maybe Intel has decided the small difference isn't worth the much higher price tag.
Intel is getting pretty ridiculous. I really hope Zen is going to be decent. I had to get my 6700k from an HP Envy system!
I actually praised intel on their prices like a month ago. Just goes to show you that a monopoly is never, ever, never a good thing, no matter how you slice it. :thumbsdown:Intel is getting pretty ridiculous. I really hope Zen is going to be decent. I had to get my 6700k from an HP Envy system!

zen needs to knock it out of the park.
According to some of the cats here, monopolies drive innovation while competition hinders it. :sneaky:

These prices reflect retailers gouging, not Intel.
are you being sarcastic or something else?If I was Intel I would raise the price of Kaby lake to reflect the price gouging. Intel is leaving money on the table.
