Can anyone give a link to where I can grab a Core i5-2500k without ridiculous processing times and a reputable source. Thanks! It seems like everywhere is out of them right now.

Awesome thanks! That was fast, Newegg must have just updated their inventory as they were sold out but an hour ago.

Curious....

Ivy Bridge is not expected to be released until Q2 2012. There have been no rumors of production issues... Could this be due to a disproportionate number of AMD users switching over to the i5-2500k due to the lackluster performance of AMD's Zambezi (Bulldozer) FX CPUs?

Well it is the most popular enthusiast budget processor right now.
I doubt it's the AMD switchers as that ship sailed a few months ago.

People get their tax returns early and get new gear.

Tax returns, have to file first and deline for W2's and 1099s is 31 jan I think. About the earliest refunds are around the midle of feb. But could be antisipation of return, could also be redeeming gift cards.

Grrr I hate that the closest Microcenter is 700 miles away from me and they are by far the cheapest place to pick up a 2500K!

The 3930K has been sold out everywhere for a week now. I've got email notification via newegg and nada has shown up. Seems like since the launch of the 7970 it's been next to impossible to find a lot of parts. Seems like quite a few people were holding off on builds anticipating its release.
