Who would spend that much money on a CPU without HT right now?, I guess either someone with a compatible motherboard and a pentium or core i3. Otherwise go for 10th gen intel or Ryzen 3xxx

Does this mean PC Part Picker's Price Tracker is inaccurate?

Shows B&H had the I5-9600K for $174.99 back on 4/26/20. Guess that means is NOT the lowest ever.

The 9600K should be ~$99, IMO, to undercut the 3300X, and, of course, the 3600...(Being priced higher than the 3600 is ludicrous)

The 9700K lacks hyperthreading, but, it's actual 8 cores do very well....(obviously)...

Given teh great prices on the R5-3600, however, i consider Intel's 6c/6t CPUs of past generations to be 'has-beens'/non-contenders...

At that price, it is competing against the cheaper Ryzen 5 3500 which cost less, and very closely priced against the Ryzen 5 3600 which is overall faster than the i5. Considering that you need to get a Z370/390 series motherboard to overclock the i5 9600K, I feel the price is still unattractive.

I would think about it, given that it was on a smaller node and had more physical cores...

I totally agree there! The new Ryzen 3 is its main competitor, performance wise.

The 9600K Smaller node and more physical cores? Than what? Its a 14nm CPU, like all Intel CPUs from the last 5 years.

Unless you are comparing it agasint the Core i5 7600K, which was a 4 core CPU, but still the same 14nm node?

Not what I claimed.
You asked who would purchase A CPU without HT [at $250].
My response is that I might do it, given that it has more cores and is on a smaller node than the 9600K.
