Well that cancels my Newegg Pre-order. Nice living only 10 min from a MC:

Why do they have it listed at 3.6ghz when the description below clearly says "first 22nm consumer cpu to obtain a clock frequency of 4ghz"

lol

Not to snark, but shouldn't launch be the word in quotes in the title?

On a more serious note, that MC deal might be enough to get me to finally go to the dark side. Would prefer to see how likely they are to get to 5.0 Ghz in retail form first.

I am both sad and glad about the fact that I live thousands of miles from microcenter.

I would think 5G is a given. Would be an epic failure otherwise.

Did they bench the i5 4690k

These wont be available till around the 4th of July it looks like.

Does this store honor or doesn't honor the online prices/bundles still?

I know they never show as in stock for the current K's but do they honor the prices at this store still when they are in stock? I've read they don't but have bought in the past at the online in store prices on the cpus and bundles.

Yes they honor the prices when you pre-order, or regular order for that matter. Microcenter has a track record of using CPUs as a loss-leader to get people into the store to buy the rest of their systems (which is why they wont ship these deals).

You can actually add them to your cart and reserve one with every other store selected except the one in my screenshot (Orange County). I have a message into their customer service to see why that is the case.

It's a great loss leader. Never have I taken advantage of their deal without buying a bunch more things from them. And I always just go to them for mid cycle upgrades. Not worth ordering from newegg when you have just great local availability, instant gratification and honestly just great service. The people that work there are into what they're doing. All retail can learn a lot from MC.

$306 out the door at the new Brooklyn Microcenter is just an awesome deal. Very happy

That is pretty sweet. I remember getting my 2600k for about that price. Man that was exciting coming from an E8400. Congrats.

Yup. Their specs page also says it's 3.6GHz. Copy-paste for the lose?

One opened near me recently. If only I had money...

I doubt that my board has the power delivery for it anyway. :/

 

[Bman123]

After seeing this I think Im in the market for a used i5 4670k. Save some bucks going used since I'm not interested in the i7

 

[Bman123]

Micro center has the new i5 listed on their site now for $199.99

 

[Homeles]

I'm certainly not an expert on the subject, but I believe most of the VRM horror stories are long gone, and they weren't really applicable to Intel boards anyway. The new CPUs are only rated for 4W higher TDP anyway.

Another month? Argh.

Where do you get that date? I dont see anything indicating any date at all.

The 4770k was so ridiculously cheap with a board from MC that it was definitely the happiest I ever have been purchasing a PC Component from a B&M store.

I do believe that they use their CPU as a loss leader. Everything else was more expensive than Amazon/Newegg pretty much but the CPU/Mobo combo. I could definitely see people just getting the rest of their system there as well just to get it all at once for the small price premium they pay just to get everything set up that day and be able to play with it then rather than later.

Anyone have a clue as to what the stock heatsink will look like for this new i7 cpu?

There's no way it'll be the same dinky little thing that comes with the current i5 and i7 chips right??

Same HSF.

From what I've read, some Z87 boards may not have the power delivery needed for DC. I basically have the lowest-end Z87 there is, so I'm screwed.

 

[Burpo]

Cinebench R15 1006?

I'll stick with an old Xeon hex core @1032 & wait for Broadwell

According to Intel Desktop Compatibility Tool your board is compatible, just need to wait to see if Asrock release updated bios. http://processormatch.intel.com/Processors/CompatibleProcessors?componentName=Z87 Pro3
