I7 6700k Processor

X99 is not broadwell, no?

X99 or LGA2011-3 is haswell-e rah

Skylake has dropped in price. When I checked two or three weeks back, it was about US$400 on Amazon. Now down to US$350.

If not for the fact that the MSI Skylake boards are so ugly, I might have changed to Skylake intead of getting another i7-4790K.

the motherboards for Z170 is still expensive.. even for low end ones

must drop further rah.. if not might as well get X99

True. Anyway, I received my new 4790K a few days ago. Doubt I will be doing any more upgrading until Intel produce a decent CPU upgrade instead of the measly incremental improvements of the last few generations.

If you notice across the board the mobos are not only more expensive the clockspeeds have dipped (5% IPC increase is insignificant)

And the prices have gone up ... H170M Pro4 for example is 195. The H97M Pro4 retailed at 159

Skylake = waste of money. X99 just go buy from newegg/amazon

Skylake is overrated with that 5% ipc boost.


Really hope AMD Zen next year could bring Intel cpu to more competitive level. But den again I dont wish to pin too much hope on Zen (despite being designed from ground up by Jim Keller)

When Jim Keller zhao before it's completed then you can more or less pin hopes on Zen (Which he did actually)

Tiagong he is expensive to hire
when the cpu tape out , can let the cheaper engineers finish the final touchup on the design

hi kendallkoh, on the 6700k box label does the product code end with SR2BR (or is it SR2L0)?

thx and enjoy setting up ur new rig...

 

[zenniz]

Just wait for more cheaper board like H110 to be available.

 

[kendallkoh]

Eh. I havent get it leh. The picture is the staff send to me over facebook de. Why leh?
