QOTW: Are you planning on upgrading to Intel Skylake?

[HEXUS]

The PC industry is preparing to ride the Intel bandwagon, will you be hopping aboard?

Nope! Sticking with X79 until multicore REALLY takes off...

[Ttaskmaster]

Only just upgraded to i5 on a Z77... this was from AMD, though!

[Potbellieddwarf]

No, going to give it a miss. just upgraded my Z97 i7-4790K to X99 i7-5930K instead. will eventually upgrade my Z87 i7-4790K to X99 as well

[[DW]Cougho]

I won't be upgrading. I haven't seen anything to suggest this isn't going to be anything more than an incremental upgrade over my 2500k. I'm not sure I really need any more power at this point anyway.

[Tunnah]

Nope. After much internal debate, lots of it, just a huge mass of debating, I've decided to go 4K instead. I was gonna get new mobo/CPU/RAM, and upgrade my GPU to a 670 and get a 1440p monitor. But for the same price I can get a 980Ti and a 40" 4K TV.

I have a 2500, yeah it isn't the best but it'd cost about £350-400 to upgrade it, and there is no CPU in the world that'd give a bigger FPS boost than a GPU for the same money.

I'm gonna keep my 2500 until I am forced to change it

[Kumagawa]

Nope, I'm going to wait for the 2nd cpu generation using a 10nm manufacturing process so I actually notice the upgrade.

[Haggard]

I will. I'm waiting for the first i5 non k.

[directhex]

Is it still slower than Haswell-E?

[tribaljet]

Given I'm on an i7-4790K (which itself was an upgrade over a Sandy Bridge i7), I have no need to change my whole platform that includes the still very expensive and not high performing to match DDR4.

Kaby Lake might be where most might find it to be a worthy investment IMHO.

[Saracen]

Nope. I don't see the point.

[Ttaskmaster]

just a huge mass of debating

Nothing shameful about mass debating... or so they tell me.

But for the same price I can get a 980Ti and a 40" 4K TV.

Pretty much my thinking, although I'd go 4k monitor and spend the extra on a w/c loop.

[Jimbo75]

Nope, my 3570 will do until Intel can offer 8 cores at a decent price, or Zen delivers. I'd still have my 2500K if I hadn't given it away.

[AskForDetails]

Currently rocking a respectably overclocked 3770K at 4.6GHz. if the skylake parts are incredible overclcokers as some of the leaked info has shown then i may consider a replacement for my ivy bridge machine.

[gingerninja7]

I hope to be sticking with my 4770K for at least another 4 years, so Skylake will be getting a miss from me. Cannonlake too. Beyond that... Maybe I'll upgrade when we change over to Graphene

[idris]

Nope - and I'm still rocking my i7-920 (bought Jan '09) at stock & my glorious 8800GTX (bought Mar '07)! I do have 48GB DDR3-1600 on an Asus P6T Deluxe, Samsung 850 EVO - plentiful for running Win 8.1 Pro & 3 VMs concurrently (with 1 VM configured booting 8 instances).

Mighty enough for my consumption...
