You make that sound like it's a bad thing. I've built a shrine to my empty 8700k box. Visitors need to leave offerings to it when they enter the house.
Wasn't expecting my 8700k to ship for another couple of weeks, and spent the rest of my budget on a monitor and recreational drugs. All I can do is look at the box for the next 10 days. Paid ca $425. Digitec.ch. They probably ship to eu as well.
Wow, all these peeps getting 8700Ks... I dunno, my excitement already peaked over Coffee Lake, though some of that could be that I again, bought the bottom-of-the-stack,the i3-8100. Which IS a solid 4C/4T chip, but next to my Ryzen 5 1600 6C/12T, it's just not all that. It's pretty-much a locked competitor to the Ryzen 3 1200 CPU when OCed.
But it was in-stock.
LOL I thought I was the only one that did this..You make that sound like it's a bad thing. I've built a shrine to my empty 8700k box. Visitors need to leave offerings to it when they enter the house.
If you guys remember a couple years back, this is similar to what happened with the 6700K. For months, you could only find it at huge premiums, if at all. I hope Intel turns this around quickly before I change my mind again and decide to wait for the rumored 8C CFL or Ice Lake.
It will get better as I'm sure that Intel is working very hard to get those CPUs out of the factory because they're selling like hotcakes. It's lack of time to have built up inventory because the earlier launch that's the issue here. I don't remember what the issue was two years ago though.
Maybe Intel also thought that not many 4C/8T Intel chip owners would want to upgrade to the Coffee Lake 6C chips right away.
That was a popular idea around the boards.
I had a feeling you were going to be disappointed with the i3-8100. Worst performing chip in the lineup...not really a great representation of Coffee Lake. It would be like me buying a Ryzen 3 to get a taste of Ryzen. I know you felt like it would fit your needs...but still...Wow, all these peeps getting 8700Ks...

What no Ryzen boxes in that pile?? LOLRespectable, respectable...
Meanwhile, I'm building a wall to keep out the console heathens. Unfortunately I've sold too many CPUs with the boxes, so I'll have to buy more in the future to keep the hordes at bay. That's a logical reason to buy more CPUs, right?

Good lord, and this is why I wont do water cooling any more...How NOT to make coffee using Coffee Lake:
My cpu shipped today should have it tomorrow.
Yes from Newegg. I ordered mine on the 5th at about 4:00 am Eastern timeFrom Newegg? If so please tell me the day and time of your order?!? Thanks!
Don’t know. Maybe today!
I don't know if it was posted earlier, but here's a good TechPowerUp article comparing effect of memory frequency and latency on Coffee Lake:
