I wonder if Microcenter will get these, and if so, what they'd charge.

 

[NutZInTheHead]

damn, that's roughly how much I spent on my whole intel gaming rig

 

[FrustratedGarrett]

I wouldn't even pay $200 for it.

 

[Andrei23]

Wow, that sounds like such a good deal...

Are there any reason to get this over other things?

Dont know as we don't know how it performs/overclocks yet. Afaik.

And are still people still thinking this is a CPU for the common folk? Good grief.

Best "reviews" you'll see of these will be over at hwbot.org ...

Wonder if they could break 9GHz snapshot stable or ~8GHz bench stable...

[de.das.dude]

thats a lot of money.

 

[Nordic]

I'd take two 4770k instead for that price. Or four 8320's.

This reminds me of the AMD Phenom II 42 TWKR Black Edition

 

[draecko]

ROFL, and how is this going to beat a i7-4930K?

 

[Prima.Vera]

Lol

It's not supposed to. It's a one off chip Limited Edition chip, designed for breaking OC records. In 10 years time it'll be worth a fortune because you'll be one of the only ones with one.

 

[btarunr]

Considering "good" i7-3770Ks tend to go around $5,000~$10,000, $900 is a good price.

if you only spent 900.00 on a intel comp .. or any comp .. i would not call it a gaming rig lol

 

[FYFI13]

I didn't want to post just three letters so i made this little "intro". Ok, now i'm good to go: LOL!

 

[cdawall]

What?

Binned 3770K's go for 5-10K easily they are all over the place. These are pre-binned AMD chips and hopefully this preorder pricing is just ridiculous and we see a nice drop to common folk land.

Coz someone could be an AMD fanboy with $900 burning a hole in their pocket?

Heavily binned chips searching for a person to push them for a world record
