Yeah, the andavantage the 9900K has over the 3700X in games is so small it doesn't really justify the price difference anymore. Add to this the fact that Ryzen crushes the 9900K in productivity reviews, and that announced 15% pricedrop is clearly too little, too late to keep the CPUs afloat until the gen comes out.

Speaking of the next gen, that seems to come in form of 14nm+++ in yet another refresh of Skylake - just with up to 10 cores and 5.2 Ghz this time around.

Cue Facepalm X2 combo

Been reported as most likely fake.

Still, I don't expect Intel to come up with something better than that until their 10nm process has progressed far enough to be ready for the desktop market. Which I fear will only be the case in 2021.
