Skylake price?

[kossel]

Hello

My current cpu is a i3-2120 and I'm considering upgrade to a <= ~200usd entrance level i5 haswell CPU, but many people advice me to wait for skylake.
new CPU usually are more expensive, do you think I get a i5 6400 or 6500 within 200 usd?

New CPUs cost the same as old. Plus any inflation adjustment.

So just look at the CPU it replaces in terms of price.

Intel usually launches an i5 at $200, so probably.
i5-4570 $192
i5-3450 $184
i5-2400 $184
etc
