Confirmed - i9 9900k will have soldered IHS, no more toothpaste TIM

[PeterScott]

There have been suggestions that the problem is not in manufacturing, but further down the line.

Very similar to last year:

8700k is up to $399 on Newegg/Amazon. Though at this point production is probably heavy on 9700k/9900K.

Has there been any indication of release/embargo dates.

Hopefully all z390 boards (i.e. Apex) are available at launch, too.

Getting back onto topic, Hardware Unboxed confirmed the 9900k works on z370. At this point we all suspected it did, but nice to have a confirmation.

This is old stuff, we have got numerous confirmations for this in the last weeks and months.

I haven't seen any leaks on temps yet - be interesting to see temps when all cores are at 5Ghz on an AIO and air.

Ditto. One wonders if the NH-D15 and similar can handle it.

Apparently this is the i9 9900K packaging

and apparently this is the NDA dates for 9th gen

Just like 8 cores and solder we can thank AMD for that packaging!

I doubt it stayed up for long. Most likely a place holder.

I think they have gotten jealous, yes.

 

[n0x1ous]

all this new hardware staring at me....just waiting on 9900k, the ti's and mobo.......its killing me

 

[LTC8K6]

Not a fan of that sort of packaging.

 

[Hitman928]

Yeah, hate the packaging. I wasn't a big fan of TR packaging either, but it is better than whatever that is.

 

[DrMrLordX]

$582? So much for $450.

 

[Dayman1225]

$582? So much for $450.

Only have 7 days to wait until official pricing if those dates are to be believed, we'll find out for real then!

 

[LTC8K6]

$582? So much for $450.

But it was $480 for sure the other day...

For $582 I can get an 8700K plus a Z board.

So I think $582 is way out there.

That's one ugly box. Looks like a prop from a cheap sci fi movie.

 

[LTC8K6]

8700K back down a bit to $379 at Amazon.

8700 at $309

 

[Head1985]

Intel still sells some CPU in USA?Here in EU/czech republic intel dont sell any cpu.All cpu are gone and rest is overpriced.i dont epxpecting 9700/9900 even start selling at this point.
Here is list of most selling cpus

its a dodecahedron you stick in the mud, aka 12sided die.

clearly the next gen will be 12 cores 24 threads /illuminati

Just like 8 cores and solder we can thank AMD for that packaging!

cant wait for the 20 side die for 10th gen

 

[StinkyPinky]

I will probably buy this if I can get it for under $500. Don't need it, but why not. Can sell the 8700k so won't be hugely out of pocket.

 

[Insomniator]

I'd rather pay 50 bucks less to be able to pick it up in a white envelope. Who cares about the packaging?

Well I care as this packaging looks like a huge waste of plastic. old Intel stuff was packaged very nicely and Eco-friendly. I remember my G2 ssd which came in brown cardboard box. Yeah this and AMDs packaging are anything but that.

can't wait for the sphere
