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

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. :o

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

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.
