I'm thinking about jumping from my Haswell 4770k to Skylake, any idea how they'll name it 6770k? I'm not sure yet but I may wait a bit longer for Cannonlake. Their naming conventions are a but confusing confusing but simply speaking I'm looking for the same similar type in Skylake like 4770k is in Haswell.
Cannonlake or bust imo or the thing after.. CannonLake will have Z200 chipset, Skylake Z170.. btw why do you want to upgrade, is it too slow or something, not ok Oc'er? If I were you I would upgrade gpu first then anything else at this point. Something Maxwell GM200 in Geforce variant, or maybe AMD r9-390 when both get released sometime in Q2-Q3 2015.
I'm waiting for GTX 980TI to be released. 4770k is great but I don't wont it to get too old, I want to resale all stuff while it is still worth some money. But yeah I think that I'll wait for Cannonlake.
Ah I see, yes atm its holding its price really well.. I got mine ~2years ago and now I see its still ~300- 320€. I personally will go LGA2011 as my next setup. Well I said true 8core or nothing at this point, mainstream Z chipsets are still limited to max 4cores and looks like CannonLake will be too.. Will see, if Skylake-E will get proper 8core as mainstream then defo this. otherwise Im gonna wait for CannonLake-E too. Kinda like 5820K is now 6core, so im thinking Skylake-E 7820K should be proper "cheap" 8core by then with X179 chipset?, but looks like not so soon, some time 2017 by the looks of it
2 years, about same as I got mine. I was looking at the E's too but they seem a bit too expensive at the moment and no real advantage yet (apart of some programs) until DX12 will make use of them but 8 cores sounds nice. it's a shame Intel has stuck with 4 cores for so long... Hehe 2017 yeah a bit long but by the looks of how all this is progressing it seems that 4770k should be fine for this long without a problem, all mainstream they release has measly 10-15% power increase... It's still a really decent CPU so I might as well hold on to it until real game changer shows up
