XPS 13 has kaby lake but it's too tiny. XPS 15 would be perfect but it's still in Skylake. Fuck

>>57104729
lol that shit is never coming out and you can't afford it.

>>57104806
Yes it is and I'll have to save up to get it but mark my words I will have one.

Because it is not out and my sandy bridge is still good enough. Wake me up when intel actually makes a new chip that is significantly better than its predecessor once again.

I got a 6950x

I'm good

I made new PC with i7-6700k two weeks ago.

I dont think that getting Kaby Lake would give me enough improvement.

I am right?

>>57104158
i might. currently on 3770k at 4.6GHz

Is upgrading CPUs a meme or is there a discernible difference over say ivy bridge for gaming?

Should I wait for Kaby lake or go with Skylake? My A8-5500 is on its last legs.

Cuz im still riding the devils canyon i5 express senpai.

When is it due out? I've been wanting to upgrade my 2500k for a while, was gonna get 6700k but decided to wait on kaby lake. Also I assume zen won't be as fast as kaby per core performance?

>>57104963
What do you do that requires more? Ive got a 3570k and never have needed more, but it's not like Im using it professionally.

>>57105005
Min fps goes way up. In tests between 4.6 GHz 2500k vs 6600k the 2500k would drop to 40s often in heavy scenes while 6600k would stay north of 65 at all times. Depends if that's worth an upgrade to you or not.

This graphic compares the amount of power used by Skylake’s CPU and graphics engine to render 4K/10-bit HEVC video, versus Kaby Lake. Kaby Lake requires 0.5 watts on average, while Skylake required 10.2 watts—an enormous difference.

It will matter for tablets.

Battery life during playback of 10-bit HEVC video barely dented the Kaby Lake XPS 13 thanks to its hardware support. I can’t say the same for the Skylake XPS 13.

>>57104728
When is zen?

>>57105075
If Zen is even as fast as Haswell it will be a huge accomplishment for AMD.

>>57104169
Same. Hoping the next gen Thinkpads get it. Apparently Skylake didn't work well with Linux. Also hearing that the integrated graphics will be a big boost which is pretty nice.

>>57104158

Isn't this will only support Win10 variant?

>Our demanding 4K trailer (HEVC Main10, 50 Mbps, 60 fps) is handled smoothly by the i7-7500U at an average power consumption of just 3.2 Watts (CPU Package Power), while the video stuttered noticeably on the i7-6600U despite a consumption of 16.5 Watts.

>YFW you didn't fall for the Skylake meme

>>57105381
There's clearly demand for them.

>>57104158
I don't have much reason to with a 4790K that can do 4.7GHz. I'm only really looking to upgrade if there's a major upgrade in single-threaded performance, ideally in a CPU with 6+ cores as well.

>>57105262
A new archictecture can only be worse for linux, don't expect to get cannonlake working before skylake

>>57104158
Still have a bloomfield i7 on my workstation and have no plans to upgrade. Fuck off skype.

>>57105894
Intel has been real good with graphic drivers and compiler updates for their new CPUs(sans Skylake), so pretty much everything worked 1 month after launch day.

Skylake has issues all over the place, from graphics to sound.

>>57107597
What meme?

>>57107789
I'm excited, it'll be way cheaper than intel, undercutting those hoes.

Because performance improvements aren't big enough for me to care about. The only reason I'd upgrade is for VT-d (I run a 3570k, fuck) so I can have a Linux host and just do hardware passtrough to a Windows VM for muh games, but I can't seem to justify the price of an upgrade considering I'm a third-worlder and dual booting works well enough.

>>57107986
GPU passthrough is a meme until someone gets it to work properly.

I want an i7 7700k just for the trips

i want it now

>>57108299
all these lake CPUs are lame af, I'm waiting for the next Sandy Bridge to roll around and give us something that will set us up for the next few years.

>>57104158
Since the 7700k won't support Windows 7, I'll probably replace my 2600K with a 6800k.

>>57109204
>7700k won't support Windows 7
Is this for fucking real? If AMD does some shit like that with their Zen, I'm sticking with my FX8350 4.2GHz for life.

>>57109237
Zen and kaby lake are windows 10 only.
Windows basically forced em.

We might see ways around this as win7 still has the largest market share.

You're going to have to depend on mobo manufacturers to support windows 7 on their end. I think it was MSI and Asrock that allowed easy windows 7 installs that bypassed the recurring driver problem.

>>57109483
It just pisses me off to see Apple tier behavior on the PC side, they're x86 operating systems, you faggots.

Does this have Dynamic HDR10 and Dolby Vision support?

Might make for a good htpc chip, I guess. Still nothing a 950 can't do better.

I have an i5 3550k. Would I even see a decent performace increase per clock?

>>57104158

I can't wait for Kaby lake desktop. I might get Skylake's 6700k soon and I always record and encode my files to HEVC. Will I still benefit from 6700k in terms of rendering speed?

>>57110892

I had a Q6600 up until last year.

That chip just does not fucking stop. It's the i5 2500k of its generation.

Honestly unless you plan on using your PC for gaming or some sort of specialized task (CAD, rendering, etc) a C2Q or C2D with a decent clockspeed and 4+GB of RAM is perfectly usable for day to day computing. Slap a cheap SSD into any of the plentiful old Dell C2D Optiplexes you can get on Craigslist for free and you will be hard pressed to tell the difference between it and a modern i7 when you're just browsing Facebook or watching Netflix.

I'm currently building a 6600k based system because muh gaymes however.

>n enormous difference.
Relatively, yes. Absolute values? Who gives a shit about 10 watts.

FPGA's in CPU's when? Just program the circuitry to decode 10-bit HEVC instead of paying 400 bucks for this.

>>57106937
>green meme

You were close but...

I'm 90% sure this is a smart business play.. Be dumb, add small cheap changes, let AMD play catch up a little bit. then continue full speed after a while.

If AMD gets BTFO then Intel is going to have a lot of problems (and so are end users)

>>57104158
Waiting for Zen. Tired of Intel hype.

>>57104158
I'm waiting for Zen too. Unless some really bad reviews about Zen are provided I won't be buying Intel now. Maybe next time if they are objectively better in everything. Right now I'm interested in keeping AMD alive so the prices won't go up.

>>57111134
>keeping AMD alive so the prices won't go up.
This, people dickride intel so much on here without realizing that AMD is necessary to drive things forward, core 2 wouldn't be the legend it is without having to beat the superior ipc of the Athlon 64.

>>57104158
I will, jesus. They just need to go on sale first

Kaby Lake is dropping instruction support for an older USB support if I recall correctly which means it would be impossible to install windows 7 conventionally as your keyboard/mouse wouldn't work with the windows 7 installer because it doesn't have the newer USB drivers

Of course this can be worked around by using a PXE server, using the Windows 10 PE to load Windows 7...
