Poll: Will anyone move on to Skylake / Kaby Lake / Cannonlake?

[Tolemac]

I'll just upgrade when I need to or if Zen somewhat surpises us

 

[Mysterae]

Possibly if the gains were worth it, such as a 100% performance increase, noticeable lift in games and low TDP.

That'll be a no then, unless my existing cpu craps out!

that'll be the day! I'd jump right on board if that happens. What do you have now? DDR4 is expensive still too for anything over 16 GB 3200 MHz and not much of it around yet (for obvious reasons), until next month I reckon.

I have an i7 4770K @ 4.6GHz with 16GB 2400MHz memory, so I think it'll be a few years before I change my cpu, memory and motherboard. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to change for the sake of tech, but I can't see the need for a few years.

Yeah I hear you, playing with new stuff is always nice but if it doesn't make a difference why move, like you said.

If fresh Z77 boards were still knocking about i'd be happy to keep buying and scrounging 2600k's

I like moving forwards with motherboards, just for aesthetics but it's a PITA to keep finding new chips.

I'm not sure yet what my next upgrade will be. I would like to build a new system come the new year but its not something I need being on the specs in my sig it would just be because its enjoyable and exciting.

The next build I do though I want to do a custom loop and move away from AIO's, just means I need to put more time into research, overclocking and all that before then.

Yeah for the last two days I've been looking at motherboards, my P67 looks real dated ha ha! So maybe there'll be a new motherboard on the horizon, I'd like to get into M.2 and other things, and Z170 does offer a couple new(er) features as compared to my dinosaur. We'll see.

I would say that the enxt ugrade CPU wise that I would do would be when my 4670k is not relevant in games any longer. For now then a i5 is more than enough for gaming - no real real benefit of even going i7.

When the games will use more than 4 cores all the time then I would switch. Tha would probably when 4k monitors would be the norm...

Well now with Kaby Lake delayed, and Cannonlake probably as well, this thread is useless and I could better ask who's going to upgrade their motherboard, since that's where the only potential will lie, it seems.
