Should i wait for broadwell or should i go with what we have today

And will broadwell use the lga 1150 socket or a new one

[iNothing]

Wait for the new haswell refresh and the new series boards. These new boards will support broadwell

+1, Get a Z97 + Haswell refresh or upcoming Devils Canyon chips.

[Phage]

Don't wait for broadwell

Canyon* surely

[Lays]

Just get a 4770k, the time you'll have to wait to get 5% performance increase isn't worth it.

 

 

If you have money now, buy now.  4770k is probably more than plenty strong enough for what you're gonna do with it in it's lifespan anyways.

Is it 100% confirmed that the new boards will support it?

z97 cpus and boards will be out shortly no point getting older chipset now.. thing is unless you NEEd to upgrade like you cant do anything theres no point.. my cpu and motherboard is old and short of wanting usb3 and faster SATA ports im not seeking to upgrade, so im waiting

YES 100% confirmed z97 is haswell refresh/ boradwell ready

But 5 Jiggabeets...

If you are contempt with your rig right now then just wait, if you are like me though and tried to play games with a MacBook pro, then just go ahead and get it now. The 5% performance increase isn't a huge deal, and even if Z97 does support Broadwell, reasonably you won't be upgrading every time a new generation of processors come out. 

[tank12up]

Will Md have any upgrades like z97 for intel

[Ovcharski]

I think the NDA for new Intel CPUs is 11th May.

[kzte]

No.

 

By the time you wait for all of that to come out, something new will be on the verge of release. It happens all the time with technology. It's like buying a new iPhone when you know it'll be outdated in a years time. It's just something you and everyone else has to put up with, unfortunately.

So Broadwell won't come in a new socket?`

[Eroda]

broadwell will work on z97 same socket as haswell lga1150 

[Admire]

broadwell will work on z97 same socket as haswell lga1150 

 

 

Do we really know this for sure? I know the haswell refresh will work on 1150 but until we have a chip, I will not be holding my breath. Intel changes sockets so often,.

[Nickolas47]

Well actually its up to you personally i upgrade every 3 generations
