[This Causes an Error]

But if supplies of 6700k remain tight after another quarter then that would
suggest a frequency bin yield problem for this SKU.

Interesting. The product has been out since August 5, 2015 and what's notable is that even before launch Intel expected supplies to be tight.

Here's [H]ardOCP:

I have been able to confirm from multiple sources (or I would not be telling you this) that Intel will not have its projected amount of Skylake processor inventory in the retail sales channel on launch day. I could not get any information when more Skylake inventory would be coming. While I would like to go into more specifics, that is all I can tell you currently. What I can tell you is this. BUY ONE NOW if you want one! I am on vacation this week and I will be getting online and buying a few for us for testing.

Additionally, even though the chip launched on August 5, I was not able to purchase mine until August 27, and even then I had to buy it as part of a Newegg combo deal and wind up with a motherboard/memory pair that I wasn't too thrilled with to begin with (though I'm happy now -- they're good).
