6700K in stock (US)

At 500+, I have to believe the informed would have just gone out and bought a 5930k instead.

I'd say a very high percentage of consumers are far from "informed". The price gouging that always happens wouldn't happen if people didn't buy at the inflated prices. I remember a guy I was in the military with buying 10 Xbox 360's at release from the PX. He then sold them for $700 - $1000 on Ebay right before Christmas.
 
My local MC has both the 6600k, 6700k, & 6600, 6700 non-ks in stock

6700 is $349, 6700k is $359, hard decision there no matter what you plan to do.
 
MC in Dallas has tons in stock and the price has dropped to $349.99. I suspect Newegg will eventually follow suit, once Amazon has chips in stock. As it stands, the Egg charges 20 bucks more if you only buy a chip.

I suspect everyone will have them most of the time from now on. Microcenter in Dallas has them now too. Perhaps the deal was that they were putting most production effort in to non k processors and shipping them to OEMs. Isn't October when lots of PCs are supposed to come out?

I'm a bit surprised that Amazon doesn't have them, though the secondary market price has dropped to 384 shipped.

It's far more simple than that.

Intel ships CPU to markets in this order now:
Asia
Europe
Americas

The US is rated in the 3rd group for supplies...hence it will take longer for products to be in stock in the future, if you reside in the US.

Global economy in action

That doesn't explain why Microcenter, Frys, Newegg etc, have them in stock.

Correction, Frys (at least in the DFW area) is out of stock.
 
Central computer next to the Moscone Conv. center, in San Fran, has about 50 on the shelf. They said they had a consistent stock since the release. However, in store purchase only.
 
kind of related to topic -- but how/when did all the 6600K i5's disappear?

I had one on my wishlist at newegg but it's like they don't exist anymore. Is there some crazy shortage on 6600k's? or did they stop making them for some reason?

They are in stock now yes.
But go back to the OP.
No stock...in the US.
Plenty else where in the world.

Make sense now?
 
Guess the stock levels are finally starting to normalize. It would seem the initial run of customers buying this processor is finally starting to stabilize. Coming from a Core i7 2600K (DDR3 1600 memory), this is a decent upgrade for me. I am digging the M.2 drives offered on the Z170 chipset. I had my O/C @ 4.8ghz but have since reset my CMOS. All I did was literally change my BLCK from 40 to 46.. viola, 4.6ghz.. I didn't change ANY other setting (but made sure my XMP profile on my DDR4 3000 ram was set to it's proper speeds / timings).
 
I see that Gigaparts has it for $389 online which is the cheapest place I found that had it in stock online. Anyone find something cheaper that it is in-stock online? I live in the boondocks in California, no Frys, etc out here.
 
Newegg is $385 but you have to buy it with a bundle. What is going on with Skylake? Are 14nm chips still this difficult to produce two years later?


Paying even a cent over $350 for this chip today is just idiocy. I was all set on building a 6700K system but I think I might wait for Broadwell-E at this point.:rolleyes:
