Intel pledges Skylake ramp in 2015: Intel to begin manufacturing its Skylake processors in 2015

Wait, what? They haven't even release Broadwell and Skylake will be on time??! On a side note; Are Intel following a naming convention?

Broadwell is just the die shrink of Haswell with some tweaks. It's the 14nm process that has needed extra time. Skylake will also be based on 14nm so therefore there shouldn't be a delay for Skylake. It will be built on mature 14nm process. Broadwell likely Q1 2015, Skylake Q3/Q4 2015.

Skylake is new architecture supporting DDR4..

Tbh all the latest CPU's from Intel are within spitting distance of each other. It would almost be worth just sitting it out until Skylake becomes available. A mature 14nm part with DDR4 could be a worthy upgrade from the likes of 3770K / 4770K etc

You sound so sure considering you don't know price, performance, release date or what sort of grunt we will even need 3 or 4 years down the line.

In my post that you quoted, you can find the letters "imo" at the end of that sentence. It means 'In my opinion'.

Of course your welcome to your own opinion. Whether or not you agree with mine, I couldn't care less.

We each make our own decisions as to what's best to purchase in order to attempt to 'futureproof' ourselves, if indeed that is the goal.

My thoughts were simply that Haswell is not futureproof, as it has the same number of cores/threads/cache as a 6 year old I7.

Haswell-E will have double the amount of cores, threads, cache, next generation DDR4 memory just to name a few of it's features.

In my opinion, Haswell-E is quite futureproof, compared to Ivy/Haswell.
 
Looks like Skylake-S will come first, low power desktop 'Locked'. Alongside Broadwell-K chips.

If Skylake-S is coming out in Q2 2015, is there likelyhood of Skylake-K being released in Q4 2015 ?

If Skylake-K is gonna end up being released in early 2016, I may aswell go for Skylake-E then.
 
Even though skylake is same 14nm process with broadwell what does intel have to gain from shipping skylakes on schedule since they will compete with their own which is the broadwell?wouldnt it be better for them to postpone for a year as they did now (because of the process for broadwells having issues they released the haswell refresh)just for broadwells to sell more? Im afraid that we will see unlocked skylakes further down maybe q4 2015 and that would be too optimistic.
 
A lot of people are holding off and have been holding off upgrading for a long time. I think Intel knows this and would like to get that money at last.

This is based on Skylake actually offering more than a scrooge 10% though...
 
That's what I am wondering if Skylake will actually offer more performance clock for clock than Haswell-E and even Broadwell-E.

I am sure that first Skylake processor won't be 6 and 8 core parts.

I am unsure what Skylake processor will be there high end parts which will have this many cores.
 
I'm hoping Skylake is a decent step up. I think it should then lay a good few years. The biggest variable I would think would be memory support i.e. initially slow DDR4 and a new motherboard required to step up to faster RAM.
 
skylake will be my next upgrade,hope the gpu section keeps pace too with die shrinks

less heat more power overall
