Intel’s i7 8700K is out of stock across the UK
Intel’s i7 8700K is out of stock across the UK
Normal stock for Intel’s i7 8700K and i5 8600K seems non-existent, with retailers like Scan and Ebuyer listing pre-orders with a fulfilment date of November 1st, which is a long wait given the fact that today is October 5th.
If these pre-order fulfilment dates are true, Intel has undersupplied their high-end Coffee Lake series CPUs by a large margin, so much so that the company probably should have delayed the product until they could ship it in more meaningful quantities.
Thankfully Intel’s lower-end products like the i5 8400 and other non-K products are still available, as well as Intel’s quad-core i3 8350K, though most of this selection of products are not really suitable for Z-series overclocking-ready motherboard chipsets, given their locked nature.
Hopefully, Intel will be able to resupply retailers faster than what is currently projected, as right now consumers are purchasing Caffee Lake with the expectation of a long wait for shipping, by which time the burning hype surrounding Coffee Lake will have gotten cold.
