    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.

    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.
