Intel's 11th gen CPUs are slated for a late March release, with an unveiling of the Rocket Lake-S lineup expected earlier in the month. However, listings for the new i7 11700K have been spotted on multiple retail websites already, and some consumers have seen them successfully shipped almost a month before their official release, according to a report from Videocardz.
The chip was listed on German retailer Mindfactory with a €469 price tag - that's equivalent to around £405 or $379 in the US without tax. At the time of writing, the listing now shows the processor as 'currently unavailable' - whether that's thanks to a request from Intel, the storefront plugging a mistake retroactively, or it's run out of stock, we don't know.
However, the i7 11700K's now popped up for sale on Danish retailer Compumail, which states the CPU is in stock and available for next-day delivery. Here, a slightly higher price tag of 3699DKK, equivalent to around €497 / £429 / $479, is given. That's about the same price that the previous gen i9 10900K is currently listed for, but we'll need to wait for official word from Intel to be certain on what sort of value this new chip might offer.
