Also Ryzen's implementation of SMT blows the old CMT away, in fact, it runs slightly ahead of Intel's SMT as far as overall % of uplift per core. The only thing left to do is tune for more clockspeed.
nowinstock is a much better way to get notification.

Look at the history of intel CPU's yesterday. The 8700k came in and out of stock 8 times in the last 24hrs...

I have asked myself that a lot. I just don't know. A 8700k and top end motherboard would be about $400 cheaper than my CPU/MOBO...that is hard to ignore. I am very happy with my 7820x and the x299 platform is super robust. I game a lot, but I play at 3440x1440 100Hz, so I probably would not see a difference. I just don't know.As a 7820 owner, would you have gone with the 8700k over the 7820 had it been available? I really want 8 cores minimum....![]()
Keep missing Newegg by a few minutes... no movement on either my B&H or BLT pre-orders. Anyone get one yet from B&H?
Wondering the same thing about B&H. The only major US vendor I have seen people confirm they have received 8700k from is NewEgg. If anyone has received from B&H I'd also like to know when you ordered it. Please share.

I have been on the auto-notify list at Newegg since the 20th for the 8700k, and I never received an email saying it was in stock. And the nowinstock site says it has been a few times since then, so I am not sure that is correct.
I'm not sure we will see large shipments of Coffee Lake desktop CPUs from Intel until January. Are there Laptops available yet? Or at least designs?
Darn, had it in my cart @ Newegg, filling checkout, got to Submit page and..... it gets removed from cart. Thought I had one!
Bad news for those of us waiting for Silicon Lottery delidded and/or binned processors:
The ETA has been removed for both the 8700K and 8600K. No ETA at this time.![]()
I did actually eventually manage to get one off Newegg yesterday, for real. I had similar experiences to you some of you guys before, where I could add it to my cart, but it wouldn't appear, I would get all the way to the "congratulations on your purchase" screen, but find the order hadn't actually gone through, but yesterday, I did actually get one; it's in transit.
So, don't give up on Newegg; I found mine after getting a text alert from nowinstock, (after like, four that had led to those aforementioned scenarios) so it worked eventually. My Amazon preorder from the 6th still hasn't yielded anything ("delivery date pending").
Well..still no luck on my order at CDW-G. I placed the order on 10/04 and was told I was second in line by our rep. Every day the ETA just moves back another day or two.. Currently sitting at 11/08. Disappointed to say the least. 1080ti should be here soon, trying to decide whether to forget CL and move over to ryzen or stay strong.
Silicon Lottery said:I've taken the ETA down, because the ETAs I've been given seem to have no accuracy. I'll put ETAs back up once I have actual product being shipped.
