basically the same speed as my i9-9900k, just a slight bump due to higher frequency. Good price though. But my i9 better, since it's 95W vs 125W TDP.

Is it you can get the 12600
I know right? If building a new system, at $220, on might rather spend $80 more for the 12600k at $300.

Ok guys, I'm only 20 min from this store. I currently have an I7-8700K running a plex server. In your opinion, is it worth to go get this and upgrade? This means i would have to swap out the CPU and get a motherboard since this is LGA 1200 and I have LGA1151 socket. I'm on the fence since this is a good deal but at the same time, my current 8700K is running fine. Would I see a difference? Should I get it?

My opinion would be no, I'm running a Plex server on an old AMD A8 CPU and it runs fun. Definitely not worth it to buy a new CPU and MB combo

I'd say no.

Which motherboard models are you guys looking at? I wanted top build a small form factor with this CPU. Asus Z490i looks great but out of stock and pricey. Is it worth the price on these higher models?

Do you have it do cpu transcoding? Which A8?

My NAS Plex server has been struggling, not sure if it is the software upgrades over the years making my cpu under provisioned, or maybe I have some kind of conflict/corruption in the software.

I don't, I usually force it to do end client transcoding instead of server. Android TV devices are pretty good at it. I never tried but I heard the even with good CPU the hardware transcoding is still not running well. But that's just what I heard.

This is not FP, it's just popular, and they only have one store in all of California. It's relevant now so more people have to see it before it dies like their $50 chromebook deal.

Damn! That's a kick-a$$ price... I'd get one (or two) if it was at that price here (Chi-town) even though I already have 10900 (non-k).
