Skylake will require a new Socket

[WYP]

Skylake-S will be Intel's 14nm processor that is set to replace the Core i7 4790 Haswell refresh in Mid-Late 2015 will require you to upgrade to the new LGA 1151 Socket.

Is there even motherboards with socket lga 1151?

Well they are obviously going to come out with the new line of Intel CPUs

Not yet, they will probably arrive just before these chips come out.

The internet don't even have information about these boards?:mellow: But i'm sure you will keep us posted

Okay, was hoping to see some pictures or features

the motherboards are about a year from coming out, they will release with the CPUs that support them. I'll write more about them as i find out more.

Why do I think that the lower the nm size, the less of an overclock we'll be getting?

 

[TheNewNormal]

Makes you wonder whether broadwell will ever happen

It's not new news, I mentioned this before... http://forum.overclock3d.net/showpost.php?p=800451&postcount=7

Its like omg Z77 was 1155, then Z87 & Z97 is 1150 and with these new CPU is socket 1151 they keep jumping around with the socket numbers imo would have been better if they went with like 1125 or something or even 1100, thats just my 2 cents

thats not quite how it works..

But why would they go 1150 and then to 1151, i know it has something to do with the amount of pins that are on the socket.

 

[RizeAllard]

I think that they need the plus one pin to be able to handle DDR4 mermoy.
If im right i will laught loudly. The new chipset is again lack of PCIe lanes so I guess I was right again chosing 2011-3 socket to build on.

Make sense about the DDR4 memory.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Or maybe their is one more pin because its architecturally different..

So when is Broadwell expected? They plan ahead don't they...

Will Skylake be a big performance increase over the original Haswell do you think?

I believe Broadwell is/was due end of the year (more likely sometime early next year)

As for performance increase my educated guess would be a incremental bump just like every other time

 

[Greenback]

Looking at the prices intel have on their cpu's I think my next upgrade will have to be an amd so it will probably be a while

Not sure what I'll go for yet, haven't got an immediate need to upgrade atm being on Haswell but we shall see how Skylake does.

Skylake will prob be my next upgrade since i'm still on good ol' sandybridge. Not that it's struggling as of yet
