Where's the 8 Series??

Any ideas on why there's such a shortage on i7-8700? I think it's time I scratch the itch and move off the 4770 but I've started looking at everybody seems sold out. Any news on when inventories are gonna catch up with demand?

Just backorder it, else its not that hard to find daily.

I was able to get a hold of an 8700k on NewEgg two weeks ago, check out this site: http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/processors/intel/ helped me find a pattern, also the reddit.com/r/intel has a bunch of threads on availability going, as none of the 'email-me/backorder' options were available two weeks ago, I just had to camp the internet and refresh constantly... super lame.
