At this point is there any reason to buy Haswell over Skylake?

At this point is there any reason to buy Haswell over Skylake? DDR4 is no longer expensive.

Also is hyperthreading worth the extra money on an i7? My friend told me it basically cuts a core in half.

Is there not a successor to skylake on the horizon? Skylake just came to late to the market. A lot of people bought Haswell and the difference for your dollar wasn't adequate enough for an entire system upgrade.

Kaby Lake is coming by December/Q1 2017, but Kaby Lake is just a "Optimization" since they couldnt push out Cannonlake and had to delay.

Kabys only supposed to improve in power and very small IPC gains if any.

Honestly, coming from a Haswell user myself. I just didn't see the reason to upgrade yet or even now. Kabylake sounds interesting. I just want a small yet powerful pc, that can breathe without heating up my room. Lower power and ipc should improve on that. I've been out of the game for a bit though. What's the word on Cannonlake?

Cannon is 2018. I wouldnt upgrade until it. Skylake and Kaby will barely be improvements.

Broadwell E is aight. Don't be a poorfag

What's the point of buying a broadwell-e? 6700K blows them away in single core performance and no one really needs more than 4 cores.
