Worth upgrading from I7 3770k to Skylake?

[Profoundsoup]

Do you guys think this will be a good upgrade?

~30% boost is what I would expect also its not out yet..

I know, just from what we do know I was seeing what people think.

I wouldn't upgrade it. It's good enough for gaming at the moment save your money and get a better gpu instead.

Not if you're a gamer. You most likely won't see any improvement, and even if you do it'll be very small.

 

If you render a lot, maybe. I don't think the added performance is worth the price, especially not for hobbyists, and the current 2011v3 processors offer better performance for professionals anyway.

I would wait one more gen

Alright thats what I hoped to hear, and yes 90% of what I do is game, go on the internet, and watch videos.

I'd wait until the CPU actually starts bottlenecking. Sure, you can upgrade "just to be sure" but I probably wouldn't even recommend an upgrade next year, unless something extreme happens.

I have a 3770K and was keen on getting a Skylake until recently, it sounds like they're limiting it a bit vs. what it was originally targeted to be (probably due to lack of competition ) so I'll probably hold out for canonlake because that'll add a die shrink to the new architecture. More so if you're using it in a gaming machine because we should see some improvements coming from DX12 too which will extend what is an already capable CPUs lifespan.

Alright well thanks everyone, seems like next year will be a good time to upgrade everything

Well based on the improvement we have seen on broadwell dualcores (round about 5-10% compared to haswell), I would say if we where very lucky we can see up to 20%. But keep in mind Intel is focusing more on graphics at the moment so I'm betting that the desktop CPUs will be an improvement but not that exciting.

[IateMApoo]

nope

[Gargantua]

Nope

[Ketcchup]

Depends on how good it is
