Skylake mainstream looks pretty good, especially as it's only a couple of years away..
Think their will be 6 core variants? Would hope 6 cores would be mainstream by then, 8 or more cores at the high end...

So I'll ignore Broadwell too and just buckle-down with this i5 750 3.8GHz+ till Skylake. It's funny because I'm hoping the new consoles really help push things again, but otherwise not wanting to need Broadwell if those new features come next :p ...Maybe AMD will save me in that potential gap by beating Intel to the punch with those things.

Hoping that Skylake finally sees Intel move to 6 or 8 cores for mainstream parts, seems like we've been stuck with dual and quad cores for a very long time now.

makes broadwell look pretty pointless?

Desktop Broadwell has been canceled anyway hasn't it?

Hopefully my Q9650@4GHz would be able to keep up till then :)

I was thinking of upgrading to Haswell first but after seeing the issues, I have decided to skip it in favour of Skylake :cool:
