new 2011-3 CPU's??

There is a high probability now that we wont get a refresh for X99 given Broadwell's pretty much a no show with Intel moving quickly onto Skylake starting with the consumer line up.

On the plus side I doubt the consumer Skylake chips are going to give that much extra to over clockers over the last three processor lines:-
Improved IGP, slightly improved IPC, little or no improvement in base/ turbo speed especially when overclocked, more cooling problems for overclocked chips due to poor quality TIM under the heat spreader and higher heat density in the chip itself.

And the cherry on top for us X99 owners - no six core plus consumer CPU in sight

Still very confident that those of us who invested in X99 will reap the rewards of a platform with more longevity ala X58/ X79 even without a CPU refesh.

Having said that have fingers crossed for Broadwell-E of X99 compatible Skylake-E!

Skylake is clocking like a monster in the leaks we've seen over the last week or so

Skylake-E could be completely different.

Could... but won't . There's next to no chance of it working on the current crop of boards.
