Will socket 1151 support upcoming 7700K?

From what I've read krabylake may not be worth the upgrade if you already have the 6700k.
 
I'm trying to hold out until we get the next shrink and or 6 cores. I have a issue now though where my 1070 isn't maxing out the GPU in BF4/1 and other games because of CPU bottleneck. Still looks decent but I know a upgrade is in order really.
 
It has been standard practice for Intel to squeeze two chip generations out per socket.

Sandybridge, Ivybridge (1155)
Haswell, Broadwell (1150)
Skylake, Kabylake (1151)

While it is true that each CPU get's it's own chipset, you can always use the new CPU on the previous chipset with a BIOS update.

except that broadwell will not work on Z87 boards.
 
True but Haswell was unusual in that the same chip family got two chipsets and two CPU generations where the second generation was nothing more than the same chip with better binning, higher yields, more power delivery components on package, and better IHS compound.

Most CPUs get 1 chipset, not 2.

They still do. No real world reason to upgrade as often as the CPU's have been incremental upgrades for years now. I will be on Skylake for at least 4 years I would guess with the GPU upgrade in the future the only planned change.

Doogles might be worth keeping an eye out for a cheap 3770k rather than jumping to a new platform (unless you are getting the upgrade itch :) )

I will rephrase that to I remember when new processors were launched for the same socket for 4-5 years!
 
I was thinking of upgrading from my 3770k to a 7700k but everyone is putting me off,
but i think i'm going to because of minimum frame rate in 4k tbh.

True but you still had to buy a new motherboard. A first release of a socket 775 motherboard wouldn't be compatible with the final models of socket 775 CPU's. Starting off with DDR1 and finishing off with DDR2 or even 3.
