Huh, they actually did it.

I thought they would never release the i9...

The price Is excessive.

I'd be more Interested when It's released In consumer PCs, but I'd say It's safe to assume that we'd be waiting a while.

For my budget it is very out of reach. So far i am stuck in i5 on 3 of my laptops .

The i9 looks pretty promising tech wise, and the price, for a new release with its specs isn't unreasonable. However it is not fit for consumer PCs yet. Give it a year or two.

If the Core I5 fulfills your computing needs, then that's all that counts.

I know a lot of users who purchase an overkill, and don't utilize half of the PC's resources.
