Re: Retailer sells cherry-picked Intel Core i9-9900KS chips for $1200
INCREDIBLY tiny improvement for double the money ? I'll take five , please. I always think that its sons and daughters of very rich people who are spending parents money.. in the end whats $600 to a deca-millionaire.
And in a years time they'll be back to buy even more shazzle. £1600 Gfx card? Diamond encrusted ram $600, helical gold plated case €1500 .. along with their investment in OneCoin

Oh well, that's why Intel is still the big boy, there are enough of those idi...people out there :)
You'd be lucky.
For whom resiliency is also critical and so approximately zero chance they'll be pushing silicon to the edge of stability!

And they wouldn't settle for just 8 cores.. Intel has a special chip for them already: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14980...-9990xe-review

der8auer is getting in on the action with his engraved Intel Core i9-9900KS @ 5.3GHz - Advanced Edition processors (AVX offset of -3). Voltage not shared on site but will be detailed in package with the shipped chip, apparently. Price is €999.90 and you get a two year warranty.

Anyone know why these TIMs are being excluded? I thought diamond-based TIM was supposed to be pretty good...
Fairly certain the answer to your question is, because you can't get them totally clean looking ready for re-sell with that type of TIM if you returned.
