Intel Kaby Lake CPUs have been pictured

Not me, given that some of the games coming out now won't work with it.

I'm absolutely sick of this. Bring on Zen, which will light a fire up Intel's back side stopping them from being so god damn precious with their sodding bloody cores.

Which games exactly? i3s support hyper threading so core count limitations shouldn't be an issue.

Apparently it is, with some games refusing to start with less than four physical cores and 8gb ram.

Agreed! Don't forget the PCIE lanes either. I find it odd that no one seemed to notice how Intel shanked the "enthusiast" community a little bit with X99. With my X79 rig, I bought a CPU with 40 PCIE lanes for $300CDN when it was new (i7-3820). Now the cheapest 40 lane *new* chip you can get for X99 is the 6850K, which is $850CDN here. Or the 5930K, which might be a bit cheaper. Stuff like that makes me angry.
