Broadwell or Haswell

[BananaMilkShake]

Hi,

From what I have seen, the laptops selling right now are only equipped with Broadwell 5500u processors. It have lower clock speed and lesser cores to work with as compared to the previous gen cpus. (eg. 4720HQ).

My question is whether to wait for the better broadwell cpu or just get the 4th gen cpu? And if I were to choose to get the 4th gen cpu now, will it be obsolete next year? As from what I know, skylake had just been released.

Thanks for input!

You just answered your own question about obsolescence... what do you need? Speed or battery life? Get Broadwell if you want the longest possible battery life. But be prepared to pay for it.
