There will always be a new generation, so you'll just wait forever.

It's a good processor, wait a few years

>>59809492
All Intel have coming this year is Skymeme-E, which should be the housefire to end all housefires.

>>59809529
or you can just wait until your current CPU is actually lacking.

The ~$300+ premium for the Skylake is absolutely not worth it compared to just getting an older Haswell i7. The performance difference is very, very minimal.

Shit just find a used one

>>59809793
>Skylake
oops Kaby Lake

why do retards insist on updating their hardware every 5 minutes?
the 4th gen intel cores arent even old yet and you're stressing about upgrading, if you're gonna change processors every 2 years you might as well just buy AMD because by the time a new chip comes out your old one will have detonated itself

>>59809843
A better reason to get AMD is that even if you wait 3 years to upgrade, they will still be using AM4. Intel changes their sockets every die shrink.

>>59809866
yeah but since the old one melted itself i presume the motherboard would be in some fucked up shape

>>59809492
Ryzen is a failure and Kaby Lake a scam,

I'm tired of this bullshit because I need an upgrade from my i7 940 shortly and I was told to wait for Ryzen, but right now is not a good time to buy.

>>59809902
Their fault for trying to overclock a Bulldozer.

>>59809925
But dude they are newer and theres more optimization for them
dont you care about your cinebench score?

i7 2700K
16GB ram
GTX 1070
@windows 7

when should I upgrade?

>>59809925
get the ryzen 1600 if you want a solid performer

>>59809925
then just buy

tbqh no

Intel hasn't given a compelling reason to upgrade in years. I'm still running on a haskell i7 rig and I probably won't bother upgrading until something on it dies. Ryzen looks cool but it seems like it has too many teething problems unless you really like dealing with that stuff.
