Knocking down $520 to $487 for the same product isn't going to persuade anyone. Not to even mention the requirement for a new motherboard shoots you well past a respectable price target. You'd have to be an idiot to buy one and a new mobo on the last rehash of 14nm.

I was talking more how they are pricing the i5/i7 line. The 10700 and 10700k is basically more in line with the 3700x and 3800x short of you having a microcenter near by, and they should easily beat those in gaming by 5-10%. Overclocking non-K chips seems to be an interesting topic as well, although I'm sure Intel will do everything they can to stop that.

I avoided Intel last year for my build due to non-hyperthreaded i5/i7 lines and I wasn't shelling out $500 for a i9-9900k on a dead socket. Seems like they are just headed in a better direction now, obviously thanks to AMD.

Yeah but the problem here is they are a year behind, the 3700X and 3800X are about to be replaced in a few months with the 4000 series so that 5-10% will be gone, the Intel mindshare is long gone by now and everyone is waiting for the new Ryzen.

I would be shocked if Intel sells very many of these, even Intel fans are saying not to buy with 10nm next year and a new mobo required. Just not worth it for the 7th rehash of 14nm.
