intel shows a $488-$499 MSRP on it's spec sheet. Newegg has it at $588 on a pre-order basis.

I haven't built that many rigs (3) in the past 4 years, but i don't recall seeing that big a bump on intel's MSRP at introduction time. What are the expectations that it'll come down by Jan/Feb 2019?

any opinions?

thanks - just went and rechecked intel's site, the way they titled it it appears to indicate MSRP (to me) but when you clik on the question mark, it indicates price is for bulk 1,000 unit quantities

so it looks like $588 is the MSRP

still, i think i'll wait till 2019 to see if i can't catch a promo sale, newegg, amazon or jet.com - i scored my 5960x $200 off and have never seen it for the price i caught it at, since

When the 8700k came out I pre-ordered it for $395.00 at B&H. The official Intel bulk "recommended customer price" for 1000pc. was $359 back in October 2017. That translates to about 10% markup for the retailer. If its similar this time around, the retail level price should be around $537.00. this would be a 10% markup from the $488 Intel RCP price. $585 would be about 20% markup what is still not unrealistic. I think we will see prices in that region as soon as it is available.

The Amazon pre-order price is awesome. They not even make a 10% margin.

actually, a tip to others who may not be aware - amazon offers a chase visa credit card, that when used on amazon give 5% in points, so basically 30 days from now i'll see an additional $26.50 in credit to be used on other purchases

basically, i got the cpu for $501.49

i mentioned this in the other 9900k thread, so i'll mention here - Amazon has another offer for business account owners (and converting your consumer acct to a business acct is a 5-10 minute affair, no fees or obligations. But for business account owners who are also Prime acct holders, if you apply for and approved for an Amer Express card, it means a free $125 gift card.

I read the Terms and Conditions of both Amazon and Amer Xpress and they were actually fairly brief (under a page each) and no fine print legalese. No annual fees on the card, no obligation to use the card - yes, the interest rate felt high, but i won't be using it

Last time Amazon did this, on the consumer side, it was a $50 gift card offer for opening a Visa credit card. I did it, never used the card, and after a year contacted Chase to cancel the card.

the $125 gift card is already in my acct, so as soon as the cpu is in, that gift card goes toward it

fwiw
