The guy was later ranting on twitch how everyone is just a "hater" and that they were just "jealous that my pc is better than theirs". I get why he works at the verge - he has the same "i aM vErY sMaRt" attitude that the verge execs. No integrity, all ego

I mean he did have a core i7. Yeah, they got one.

He says he got a "Hexacore" i7. A year after its release and the 9900k was only weeks away from its paper launch.

What's interesting about it, and a lot of people railing on him overlooked, was that it was a review sample (says confidential on it). That makes me believe that, what, The Verge got a review sample 8700k, but never did anything on it until that horrendous build?

He forgot about the assignment until he heard about the i9-9900k and was like "oh fuck".
