well i'm digging up sites for something to read atm, well for now lets just look at this in dismay.
http://wccftech.com/broadwell-launching-k-series-unlocked-processors-coming-second-quarter-of-2015/
to point out, since skylake will use a different architecture, its highly likely that i'd be incompatible with LGA1150, ugh decisions...
lololitas:
Wasn't it confirmed that intel would introduce LGA 1151 for skylake? I thought the thing left to the rumours was whether the socket would support DDR4

Haswell-E will be the first one to support DDR4. I don't know which socket Skylake will support. I keep thinking of wanting to build a new computer with Haswell-E but seeing that Broadwell has better features then I might as well wait for Skylake-E. Hmm, that should be two years from now and 4K monitors should be more affordable by then.
lololitas:
Yeah, but haswell-E runs on 2011-3 not 1150. The question is whether it will support DDR4 for mass-market non-enthusiast builds. Even broadwell is only confirmed DDR4 for broadwell-EP and -EX
kitamesume:
it wasn't brought up whether they'd go with LGA1551 on skylake, no news about adopting DDR4 with skylake yet as well.
in any case its really is a hard decision, grab broadwell-K or grab skylake-S, broadwell-K will be overclockable thats for sure but my only goal is 4.0Ghz.
but from skylake, if theres one with a stock clock of 3.6Ghz, turbo should reach 4.0Ghz, though turbo is unreliable.
on the other hand i'm more interested in which chips broadwell and skylake will be having an eDRAM built into the chip, that might be a deciding factor.

well that answers my questions, i'll dig a bit more.
well thats as much as i can dig about skylake, no clocks too, booo?
it bothers me though, why they still hadn't tried going with an i3 with GT4e, i mean that'd open up a large market on the lower sections.
well though theres their driver problems for the IGP but none the less who wouldn't want a hyper-efficient chip that can out-perform AMD APUs at the same cost?
edit: i wish they'd make MATX boards with the primary PCIEx16 on the 3rd slot, imho the first two slots would better off be used for soundcards or other peripherals, plus it opens up space for extra-large heatsinks.
the only possible way to do this is using an SLI compatible board for 8/8, although crossfire non-sli boards would also work you'd be using x4 of 16/4 which is just retarded...

ok tempting, it recently appeared locally for roughly $80 cash.
someone needs to try and slap an R7-250 or GT740(GDDR5) in it and test whether it stutters like fuck in DOTA2 or LoL, and maybe BF4 in 1280x720 res.
