There will always be online retailers that want to score early sales hard enough to break any and all sorts of NDAs.

In this particular instance, it is a pair of Dutch stores that broke whatever secrecy pacts they had sealed with Intel, if any.

As reported by Hardware.info, Dutch stores MAXICT.nl and takeITnow are accepting pre-orders for the high-end flagship central processing unit known as Core i7-4770K.

The former wants 331.13 Euro (including VAT), which means $331.13-426.16, while the latter store has priced the CPU at 352 Euro / $352-453.

Among the confirmed specifications, there are the clock speed (3.5 GHz) and L3 cache memory size (8 MB).

Anyone from EU countries can reserve one, but they won't get the products until June, as Intel won't be releasing the Haswell family before then.
