Price cut incoming for Intel's graphics-less Core KF CPUs

I’ve always been a bit baffled by Intel’s Core F and KF processors. Not in theory, you understand. Making CPUs without integrated graphics makes a lot of sense for gaming PCs, especially when you’re almost certainly going to be pairing it with a proper discrete graphics card anyway. Instead, it’s the price of them that’s been the most perplexing thing about them, as until now they’ve always cost the same as their integrated graphics (or iGPU) counterparts. I know I’m never going to use the integrated graphics on a new Intel Core i5-9600K, for example, but why would I spend the same amount of money on a technically lesser product? Thankfully, that’s all set to change very soon, as Intel have just announced a price drop for their 9th Gen Coffee Lake F and KF CPUs, making these pure processing machines much better value for money.
