Thai retailer Gameolo has leaked the prices for Intel’s upcoming Intel Core i7 and i9 CPUs. Intel plans to release six CPU models and these are: Core i7-7640K, Core i7-7740K, Core i9-7800X, Core i9-7820X, Core i9-7900X and Core i9-7920X.
In case you are wondering, these are the exact same CPU models that were revealed almost two weeks ago.
The Intel Core i7-7640K and Core i7-7740K will feature 4 CPU cores, will support 8 threads, and will be priced at $220 and $347, respectively.
The Intel Core i9-7800X will feature 6 CPU cores, will support 12 threads, and will be priced at $434.
The Intel Core i9-7820X will feature 8 CPU cores and will support 16 threads, while the Intel Core i9-7900X will feature 10 CPU cores and will support 20 threads. The former will be priced at $652 while the latter will be priced at $1087.
All of the aforementioned CPUs are planned to be released in June.
The high-end i9 model, the Intel Core i9-7920X will feature 12 CPU cores, will support 24 threads, will be priced at $1652 and is planned for an August release.
UPDATE:
Intel has officially announced the prices for its new i5, i7 and i9 CPUs. As we can see, these prices are a little bit lower than those reported by Gameolo. Moreover, the Core 7640K is an i5 CPU that does not support Hyper Threading (in other words, it can only handle 4 threads).

Cannot wait for the i18+
It’s going to be so 95C. 😉
I couldn’t care less about the i18, I just want my old copy of I-Ninja back. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cee27b4ba38ae14392dce37c07c6a6865c5d67406ae4e5d8fac925e1fb37f414.jpg
So like a ninja you sneak one when nobody is around?
Yes/ BECAUSE IAM OROKU SAKI THE LEADER OF THE FOOT NINJAS. I SNEAK EVRYWHERE AND KILL MY ENEMIES WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICE!!
😐
GAAAAAAAAAAME CUUUUUUUUUBE remember that sound on some GC games my favorite console of ALL TIME!!!
I agree i enjoyed the dreamcast myself i want to own one some day. GC i feel was Nintendo’s last console that really had amazing games all around and for some reason its my favorite in terms of 1st party from Nintendo except maybe zelda.
It really does digital foundry made a video of just that game running on the GC quite a lot of polygon going on. Super mario sunshine i loved, paper mario thousand year door, Metroid of course, just about any game besides Wind waker i feel Nintendo simply kicked it out of the park. Wind Waker was a great game but i simply don’t think it was the best zelda or anything.
Just seems like the 6 core should be priced more at the R7 1700 and that the 7740K should not even exist or maybe be the 7640K?
But its a start and Amd should fight back with finally releasing the R3 series and soon thread ripper.
Edit i bet the 7800K will pretty much be the better buy over a 1800X and IMO if boards were actually cheap and at 80-100$ be the better buy for most people.
ThreadRipper is really going to have to compete i own a Ryzen 1700 and i will say that i would rather have a 6 core Skylake CPU for the same price if the board was also the same price as my Tomahawk
Ryzen 8 core vs 6 core Intel has 33% more cores BUT with a 3.8-4.1 MAX OC. If you can keep it cool i’m guessing the 6 core skylake could do 4.4-4.5Ghz and that is a 15% higher clock speed with probably 15% higher IPC based off my testing Ryzen is about equal to Haswell.
For pure gamers i was recommending the R5 over the I5 as many games started to use more cores and gamernexus showed better frame times with more threads but if this is true it’s gonna be looking like 7700K performance vs the Ryzen 1600.
This is why Intel fans should be happy about Ryzen competition is always good for us consumers and Intel simply wasn’t doing it IMO. I do however think Nvidia has done a good job without know competition in the high-end.
In terms of pricing i agree prices of cards have gone up but at least we seen more performance each generation. Intel could have done far more then what they did for the past 6 years including giving us more cores for the money. I mean technically from a performance standpoint Nvidia didn’t have to release anything past a 980Ti in terms of performance for gaming GPUs until VEGA.
Who fault is it that AMD isn’t competitive? The answer is AMD. Nvidia has the performance crown so that’s what I’m buying.
6C/12T: 6800K @ $439 –> 7800X @ $434
8C/16T: 6900K @ $1049 –> 7820X @ $652
10C/20T: 6950X @ $1700 –> 7900X @ $1087
12C/24T: N/A –> 7920X @ $1652
^The story of what happens when competition comes along.
So competition makes you lower your prices just a lil cause the 7820x is still almost double the price of the 1800x, lol. Intel doesn’t have to compete on price like AMD does.
For strictly PC gaming, Intel is still the better option. It isn’t wise to compare it based on the core count alone. For productivity or even productivity plus gaming, then AMD is the better choice.
Shintel and NoVideo stands no chance against ayyMD
Except……Intel and Nvidia still making far more money than AMD are
you appear to fail at basic math. the 1800x msrp was 500 bucks when you typed that 3 days ago which means the 7820x is 100 bucks more. how the heck you came up with 600 bucks being twice the price as 500 bucks is quite amazing. that sounds like the typical nonsense people spout when justifying their AMD purchase.
now as of today the prices have been lowered on many AMD cpus but again when you made your stupid comment the MSRP of the 1800x was $500.
Looks like Gamers Nexus got the official spec & price launch lineup. Prices are slightly different but I’m too lazy to change em. Most notably, the 7640X is an i5 (so no hyperthreading), which makes the most sense). Still much more reasonably priced than Broadwell E was. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4bc0634026b1bf21eb739aaafbc8a5b0d6edad32261183bcb981fcddd98fa6e7.jpg
Yeap, we’ve already updated the story with the official prices
Yes, but I’d just like to point out that the prices leaked by Gameolo are retail prices in Taiwan. The official prices presented by Intel are per-unit prices for 1000-unit orders in wholesale. Consumers won’t be able to buy them at those price.
Just buy 1000 CPU’s bro.
good boi!
Thank you AMD!
Too expensive holding on my old ivy bridge
If you have a 4c/8t ivy bridge part, then by all Means hold on to it, it will serve you well for least two more years, If you are on a 4C i5 ivy bridge then it is starting to get long in the tooth, but as long as it doesn’t bottleneck your GPU you can still use it and get good results.
i’ve got a 3770k at 4.2 ghz so i guess im good its not bottlenecking my 980ti g1 apart in maybe some cpu bound games like project cars,gta5,watch dogs 2… but even in those games the performance is still very good even if i could scratch 20-35% more performance with a kaby lake 7700k in those games
I am using an Haswell i7-4770K @ 4.2GHz for the past 4.5 years…still kickin a$$!
yep got myself a set of 2x8gb ddr3 of g-skill tridentx 2400mhz back in 2013 works perfectly 🙂
I’ve still got a 2500K from 5 years ago.
i also had it from June 2011 until 2 motnhs ago when i got Ryzen 1700 which a monster compared to it.
650 and 1000 euros for the 8 cores cpu?! AMD is selling their 8 cores(Ryzen 1700-1800x) at 390-500 euros. That why when i decided to buy new cpu 2 months ago i bought Ryzen 1700 because i knew that the intel 8 cores cpu will be much more expssive for no other reason than that because they are the most powerful cpu company and think they can do whatever they want. But people are waking up. Who is crazy enough to give 650 euros for 8 core cpu when he can buy the Ryzen 1700 or 1700x for much cheaper. No one will buy them and intel will get hurted a lot!
I also own that processor and i will say that i would rather have a 6 core skylake IF it costed the same as our processor as it will probably OC to 4.4 or so and it does have 10-15% more IPC.
However the 6 core cost 100 more then the 8 core ryzen if these prices are right AND i highly expect 180+ dollars for the motherboards vs 100$ for a B350 board.
In gaming IPC does still matter quite a lot and i do not see a 1700(3.9Ghz) ever beating a 6 core skylake at 4.4Ghz in games and i expect it will lose in almost every other task as well.
I guess one upside to us buying Ryzen over this is Amd promised that we will see upgrades to even ryzen 3 with AM4.
640 euros for 8/16 3.6 ghz wile the 8/16 3.7 ghz ryzen 1700 costs 500 euros. HAHAHAHA!
These are the real prices

AMD still has the upper hand in that, but we’ll see how they perform.
Lolwut. There’s a $20 difference between the 6C/12T and 4C/8T CPUs.
Yeah, basically anything below 6/12 is pretty much dead, even now that intel launched their cpus
Yes My ryzen 1700 costs 390 euros and this while it also a 8 core 16 threads costs 600 euros because intel thinks that people are stupid. Who will buy this when for 200 euros you get the ryzen 1700 and you overclock it up to 4.2 ghz?
You’re actually lucky if you reach 4.1 on ryzen cpus, and that’s a big point in favour of intel, almost nobody goes beyond 4.1
Lol
Most people apparently, since overclocking on ryzen is nearly nonexistent. Most people struggle to hit anything above 4ghz.
Wholesale prices for 1000-unit orders, not retail prices.
With those prices I’d rather pick up a ryzen
Well another good reason for me to finally jump away from Bloomfield. I know I’m way late…
2 eXpenSiVe I’m jUsT fInE WiTH mY Pentium 2 Intel OutsideTM
Given that the i7 7740X is presumably intended as the successor to i7 6700K and more recently i7 7700K then would it be reasonable to assume it’ll have the highest IPC of all the new CPUs listed?
doubtfully it’s a significant upgrade from the good “Old” 6700K skylake
definitely looking forward for the benchmarks
Not I am looking forward to what AMD is going to offer up everything at….?
These prices are not indicative to what they need to be…. Much better for sure, but need to be cheaper especially if the hardware isn’t going to be fully utilized for a few more years. Games wise that is… As you can get better rendering/throughput with a GPU anyways…
