We reviewed it back in November, the Intel Core i9 9900KS, Intels' premium processor running an all-core 5 GHz seems to have been going EOL as availability if the processor is dropping massively, and prices are going up.
Overall, this is not big news as Intel has clearly indicated that the 8-core processor would be a limited edition production run. If you want one as it is probably the fastest gaming processor your money can get you, you better get it now as prices have increased roughly 50~75 EUR overall already. You could wait on the next-gen desktop processors of course, but that requires the investment of a a new motherboard as they will be socket LGA1200 based.
