How many of you are going to get a Broadwell-E CPU?

I think that's why Skylake was such a disappointment - it was a brand new architecture, the only one we're going to get from Intel in a ~3 year period, and it barely improved IPC over Broadwell.

It does clock a lot better than Broadwell though...

Kaby lake for socket 1151 is supposed to be Q3-Q4, so October ish.

It also brings the Z270 chipset with it, which will support cannonlake in 2017. That's the all new arch on 10nm, that supposedly will bring 6-core to the mainstream platform.

Ohhh! Thats what we want!

Unfortunately Wikipedia seems to suggest it's just going to be another 4 core part.

Which would be very boring.

Kaby will be 4c8t top end.

cannonlake, which will use the 200 chipsets (which comes out with kabylake) will most likely be at least hex core top end. Why? Intel literally have almost nowhere to go with the 4c8t top end consumer i7's a 7700k on a z170 board will offer very little over a 6700k... Unless you use the igpu

Just ordered a 6850K/X99 to swap over in my current 4820K/X79. I didn't realise how cheap DDR4 was!

DDR4 is about the only thing that is cheap these days.

Got to agree there. After seeing a few DDR4 deals being posted I got curious as to the benefits and gains that I would make over my venerable, but still functional 3770k, needless to say it is going to last a lot longer.

Imagine if Intel/AMD just sold cores and umpteen different brands sold the actual consumer products.

That's why RAM can get so cheap frequently.
