Dr. Ian Cutress says he's finished the testing on DC, and is taking care of the writeup part now. He said they got their samples really late.

Well a wafer takes something like 3 months from start to finish, right? Maybe even more these days? Not too crazy.

I think the manufacture date is when they put the whole package together.
Anyway, someone just posted on the Asus ROG forum that his was manufactured September 2013.

What do you think Intel has been up to?

It's not the package assembly date, it is the lot-start date.

That is, the date at which the wafer was officially laser-engraved with its lot number when the lot was started in the fab.

This is industry standard protocol BTW, everyone does it the same way because this is how QRA tracks the silicon in the field and associates it with its processing history in the fab. (for tracking down root-cause problems and so forth)

A lot start date of Sept 2013 would put the wafer ex-fab around end of Nov to early Dec, after which it goes through test, bin, and then shipped to a packaging plant by boat, packaged and then shipped by boat yet again to a warehouse where it sat until it was trucked to a retailer destination.

It takes time to do this at a global level.

I going a bit off topic here, but in the chip biz, what is considered a lot?

Depends on the wafer size (diameter) as the lot cassettes (typically for 200mm and smaller wafers) and foups (typically for 300mm wafers and larger) have a maximum weight limitation drive by practical handling considerations.

That said, generally speaking a 'lot' of 200mm wafers will comprise 24 wafers, and a 'lot' of 300mm wafers will comprise 12 wafers (as 300mm wafers are generally 2x the weight of a 200mm wafer).
 
Release has been changed to the 26th (from 25) on newegg. I guess the good news is that they must be on the way. Not long to wait now.
 
Actually that's only for the 4690K. Newegg shows the 4790K as in stock and Amazon still has the release date for both as tomorrow.
 
I have been testing the 4790K ES with the MSI MPOWER MAX AC - Its been a strong combo and The comfortable OC I attained was 4.7 @ 1.29v and the highest I could go with my cooling was 5.15 Super Pi 32M stable (1 thread)
 
microcenter was selling the unlocked pentium with an overclocking board for $10 cheaper than the board sells alone, so now i own one of these little bad boys.
