Nice, these guys are already done benching Skylake ES. Wonder how the retails hold up.

Intel pumping demand by constraining supply. Lets see how high the prices go since its widely unavailable.

August 5th came and went. Where da chips at? :this:

6700k no longer "coming soon" status on newegg.

Paper Launch?

A release of a product, especially a computer component, in extremely limited quantities, making it very difficult for consumers to get their hands on. The purpose of this is generally for a company to be able to say "we have the fastest chip", before they can actually produce large numbers of them.

Thus, the product isn't really "launched" to the market, it's only launched in press releases, hence "paper" launches.
"Hey man, I can't find any vendors that sell the new, ultra-fast Intel chip. Have you found it anywhere yet?"

"Nope, nobody has it. It's just another paper launch."

Yelp, gonnna have to wait to actually touch this mythical chip. Unless you're part of the "special crowd" that benches and reveals performance which is meaningless to the majority of hard cash paying gaming crowd. All the gamers are saying is GFY till I get my hands on it.

got a lot of bills lately but i might pick one up soon or later...

Good reviews but were are these chips?
