Maybe they are pulling them for a ver 2.0 with Spectre and Meltdown fixes?
Surely that's a joke... I can't imagine Intel are actually actively producing any more Kaby Lake based processors now that Coffee Lake has been in production for what, almost six months? I'd figure there is more than enough existing stock out there...
Not that I wouldn't like to see a revision. The chances that I would actually get bitten thanks to the vulnerabilities are pretty low to nonexistent, the chances that I would be affected by the workarounds / patches / microcode updates are 100% and at some point we will be forced to apply them.
Available in both Chicago area stores as well.They show available and in-stock in both Atlanta stores

Stupid crypto miners think 7700k is made by Nvidia and bought them all?

Really? I just checked the intel processor page on the web site and I don't see any 7700k's in stock. Just 7700...
That being said if anyone's interested, as of this post I do see an open box 7900X at the Marietta center, for 599$:

(obviously you'd have to change the store at the top to Marietta)
Maybe one of you'd like to jump on it because that's a pretty big discount? I got my 8700k open box and it's been working just fine.
Looks like they are gone from Chicago stores. i7-7700 still available, which, imho is basically the same thing.
Edit: 7700 looks like 10% slower @ stock, so slightly different...
Looks like that might be it, the 7700k's are suddenly back for the ATL region.I think they sometimes just do random stuff with their inventory system online. The other day, I noticed that the Ryzen 7 1700X and 1800X were listed as no longer carried, but I was looking today, and they're both back in stock.

You can't overclock the 7700...

Side note Marietta has an open box 7700k for 223. >_>
K-series CPU's are unlocked and overclockable. The standard 7700 is not.
And....10+ available at both Chicago stores. Maybe they take it down from the web page when re-inventorying?Looks like they are gone from Chicago stores. i7-7700 still available, which, imho is basically the same thing.

And real world difference these days for most things doesn't matter that much...
damn mining
jk...
If you're going to go that route, might as well go to the extreme end of the argument and buy an i3. Whether it's 30%, or 5%, or situational usefulness (ie certain games), it's still statistically significant. These are numbers that most enthusiasts care about. Otherwise we wouldn't bother with the top end.
