From the i9-11900K all the way down to the i7-11700T, we see 8 cores and 16 threads as expected.

AMD undoubtedly took the lead in the CPU race with their Ryzen 5000 launch. Of course, all the major hardware launches of quarter four were plagued with stock issues, leaving many crying “paper launch”. With the introduction of Intel’s highly anticipated Rocket Lake series processors, today we are going to be looking at where to buy the flagship i9-11900 & i9-11900K.
If you are still wondering what exactly is the Intel Core i9-11900 and i9-11900K are then don’t worry, we will be taking a look at the specifications, release dates, prices, pre order options, and, of course, where you can buy one.

We now have an official release date for the Intel i9-11900(K) with it expected to come out on the 30th of March 2021. There is a bit of confusion around this though as we have heard retailers in Germany were selling this SKU around 3-4 weeks ago. It is also currently possible to purchase the locked i9 variant in the UK at the moment with some retailers, so your best bet is to keep trying.
Whilst the pricing of the i9-11900(K) is not yet known, we can draw some conclusions based on the current 10th-gen model.
The current 10th-gen i9-10900 retails for around $479.99, while the K variant retails for $50 more at $529.99. We expect Intel to price their flagship processors around this at most but due to the fierce competition from AMD, we could see a more competitive price to compete with the fabled Ryzen 5900X.

None of the “pre-order” links in the US are for 11th gen CPUs. Sorry.
