I think you already know the answer...So, silicon lottery binned my 8700k at 5.2GHz @ 1.425v -2 AVX offset.
Good one?

I wouldn't ask if I did.
1.425 seems high, but so does 5.2. I'm not complaining.
Man think of the MILLIONS in law suit someone is going to file and win against Newegg soon.Newegg increased the 8700K to $419.99 today.
How are you going to cool it at 1.425? I personally wouldn't go over 1.3v.I wouldn't ask if I did.

They're "only" making $40 extra a pop. It's not really enough to justify intentionally limiting stock, especially since the chips are only available for about 20-30 minutes PER DAY.Man think of the MILLIONS in law suit someone is going to file and win against Newegg soon.
They probably have a SemiTruck full of 8th gens. And they are releasing lots of 10 at a time to slowly elevate the market price. Someone is gonna burn.
All these companies pull shit like this. They just have to get caught.
Other than digital penis there is no need to push these so hard. 5.2 is great for a one time bench. But back that shit down to like 4.7 or 4.8 and let it rock that way. The difference in whatever it is you are trying to gain is not worth the power and heat and wear on that Si chip you are causing.
They're literally selling at $650 on Ebay. MORE EXPENSIVE than a retail 7820X. Newegg could have launched the 8700K at $500+ and they still would have sold every single one. The world is flipped on its head, lol.
Yeah more like $630-$650 to be precise...
$650!? Let I saw they were 500+...Jesus. It's a dick move but if people will pay it, why not. Hmm. Makes me consider selling my unopened 8700k while I wait for a mobo... Decisions decisions

Randomly refreshed Newegg and the 8700K is in-stock.
EDIT: Apparently I have godlike timing because I loaded the page immediately after they went in-stock.
Just ordered one, gonna flip it on Ebay to pay for my delidded/binned chip.

Newegg is getting stock daily, so it seems silly to pay nearly double (+$250) for the 8700K. In fact, if you're observant, Newegg refreshes their stock at 3 PM EST. So you even know when they will show up.The demand is quite excessive. All those SB owners holding out so long. They come in stock now and then, else filling backorders. Its not that hard to get unless you want it next day.
Is it only consistently in stock at newegg? Who did they screw to get this deal? lol.Back in stock for $419 at Newegg for those willing to pay the gouge.
Missed the highlighted K. Sorry.
Truth is that it's not a 65W part. It can be, but you'll probably not see the full 4.3ghz in a SFF rig like the Dan Case I'm using with L9i. If I put it in an NCASE M1 with a bigger cooler, I'm fairly certain it would be ok.
I don't get it. At $500, you guys should be looking at the 7820X instead. Sure you pay a little more for the board, but at least you have a (theoretically) upgradable X299 board instead of a one trick pony Z370.
None of the x299 chips have the IPC of the 8700k much less the OC headroom.

Would you be able to tell if you had the 7820x and 8700k both running at 4.5? Yes, in fps it might be greater, but I bet it would not make a difference.It's about the games. 7820X is a fine workstation CPU but for gaming the 8700K rules the CPU world.
What does the 8700k do at 5GHz in Cinebench single thread?I quoted my self to clear up what I was saying.... But were talking like a few points of CInebench here. I think like less than 8 points give or take and that is with the 8700K oc'd to 4.8 and higher.
There are still a lot of things that are single thread limited, it's not only gamers demanding high single core ipc & speeds. My four year old eight core here never holds me back in multi threaded loads, it is ALWAYS a single threaded workload when I have to wait on the computer. The biggest problem for me is AutoCAD and specifically attaching pdfs that causes me constant slowdowns in my workflow.Would you be able to tell if you had the 7820x and 8700k both running at 4.5?

8700k is good if your only gaming.
How much slower at 4.5 is the 7820x in single threaded?There are still a lot of things that are single thread limited, it's not only gamers demanding high single core ipc & speeds.

There is still plenty of software that isn't, and never will be, multi thread capable. So these increases still hold great value.
I dunno, I have my old amd 8350 @ 4.6ghz. I can tell you that it's single threaded performance is certainly lacking, that's why I want Intel for my next machine. I thought saying it was 4 years old would have helped identify that from the 7820x which released this year. I had hoped things would have moved forward using all these cores back then, but obviously software never caught up. This is why the 8700k is appealing to me, less cores but each one should be doing significantly more work. I think if Intel had a 4 core chip that clocked to 6ghz I would prefer that too, but no such thing exists.How much slower at 4.5 is the 7820x in single threaded?
Significantly more work than the 7820x per core? I don't think so. Maybe with a Ryzen, but for gaming it would not make much of a difference since most new games use 4+ cores.I dunno, I have my old amd 8350 @ 4.6ghz.

Yep went in-stock twice this morning actually, just now and also about 2 hours ago.8700K back in stock at Newegg. It seems to becoming more available. Mine arrives today.
They are making some good money off of those people who just have to have it now.....Yep went in-stock twice this morning actually, just now and also about 2 hours ago.
Significantly more than my 8350. I am not comparing to the 7820x, I never was lol. Perhaps my post was a little confusing originally. I am not interested in the 7820x as I don't deal with much in the multi threaded world. What little I do is done on my plex server, which has a Ryzen 1700x. For MY needs on my new pc, single thread speed holds the crown. The 8700k still has the most value, because the extra cost for the cores of 7820x are not useful to me. I've waited this long, I can wait a little longer for the 8700k to have some real availability.Significantly more work than the 7820x per core? I don't think so.
