Hi - I am in the market for an i9-9900T for my HTPC to replace the existing high clock rate i3. But for my life, I can't find a non-Intel ES variation of this chip for sale.
Does anyone have any suggestions or explanations for why the market is flooded with these cheap ES chips?

My alternative is to go with an i9-9900K and downclock the CPU if heat is an issue.
