Intel recently released the stripped down version of the 8 core Coffee Lake 9900K to the market, the Core i9 9900KF. WIth same price tag it offers similar performance to the original model while lacking the integrated graphics.

I managed to test one R0 stepping 9900KF binned from 3 pieces and also one random R0 stepping 9900K. The 9900KF really doesn't seem anything spectacular to me, eventhough some guys around the world have managed to find really nice samples for overclocking. Both the KF aswell as the R0 stepping 9900K work just like that with correct bios update on older Z170/Z270 motherboards like the Z170M OC Formula or Maximus IX Apex.

R0 stepping as a whole seems very good and we may see even better clocking pieces amongst the R0 stepping CPUs over the coming months.
