Here you can get: 11700K: $359 10700K: $269 11900K: $519 10850K: $329 And even cheaper if bundled with a motherboard @ microcenter. Now if they can only get some video cards in stock long enough for me to buy one....
There's really no point getting the new cpus when you can get the 10850k at 329$

I bought it 11700KF and sold the 10700K. Intel said 19%+ IPC and there is an improvement. I felt responsiveness boost immediately just using Windows 10 Explorer. Spoiler: "10700KF"

Really explorer? Didnt you read the reviews. There is even a performance regresesion in some games and in others its barely faster than 10700k. Its a sidegrade at best.

Yes, really, not very much, but it feels faster. Yes, I read the reviews.
Like @MonstroMart mentioned 10850k would the better option but hey if you feel its worth it thats good enough. 🙂

MicroCenter is great, but not very useful to make comparisons with....even in the US. There are few stores and no online sales. Nice for those near one, but the pricing means little to the majority.

Got one for 300€ (tray @ caseking), not a bad deal.. Was actually the cheapest in whole EU 🙂 And it does 5GHz all core 1.30v in bios with -0.130v offset, real cpuvid ~1.34v. LLC4 or Asus LLC6. 4.3ghz cache, at 4.2ghz it uses ~1.28v vid. [Spoiler]

SA 1.40v, on default 3600mhz xmp it's ok at 1.25v (auto is 1.40v) IO2 1.30V (tested default xmp 1.25v, while auto set higher too) 3-4mhz oc extra is from 100.10mhz cpu blck OC,. it passed 100.80mhz @ 3774mhz too and that's the around max. And from what I saw so far Gear1 3800, 3866 and up to 4Ghz is only for binned 11900K chips. Im ok with this 11700kf for less money, and it is cold too, cooler then I expected at such settings. and It beats stock 11900k here in review, so im fine with that xD
