I am curious. Is anybody here passing on the current Skylake chips and waiting for the Kaby Lake (mainstream) chips?
If so, why? If not, why not?

I waited for KLB notebook Dell XPS 13 because the time was so short. Maybe if you watch Netflix on desktop waiting would make sense?I am curious. Is anybody here passing on the current Skylake chips and waiting for the Kaby Lake (mainstream) chips?

So you're waiting for, say, Ivy Bridge or Haswell performance but 4 year later release date. I don't really understand honestly why someone would want to wait for Zen. Will it be significantly cheaper? I've heard it starts at $200 for SR3.I am waiting for Zen. Kaby is just Skylake with bells on, I am waiting for the only thing that might change the scale for mainstream CPU value (though I don't have my hopes up too high).

You didn't factor in that it could offer more cores at a similar price point. I'd rather have 6-8 haswell cores than 4 kabylake cores.So you're waiting for, say, Ivy Bridge or Haswell performance but 4 year later release date.

I already have a 4C 8T 4.4GHz Ivybridge Core i7 3770K, next upgrade will be 6 cores with same or higher IPC at same or higher clocks at same or lower price.
So no, Mainstream KBL is not something im looking for.

Is SKL-X on your radar?
By the same thinking, i almost have 4GHz Skylake 4C 8T performance since 4 years ago with my 4.4GHz 4C 8T Ivybridge.
I don't remember it that way. People really not happy with the OC results.IVB i7 chips were/are awesome.
yes i said almost the same
for a 4.5 years old CPU thats amazing because Intel still sells 4C 8T at $350 mainly thanks to AMD.
No just Gen9 with the improved 14FF+ process.Btw, is the iGPU any different than SKL, besides the media-decoding? IOW, is the 3D capability any bit improved? Or pretty-much same iGPU?
5820K was $389
