Socket 1151 - future proof-ish?

[t33to]

Still piecing together a new system, trying to decide what budget area I can fall into while having some upgrade wiggle room in the future.

 

Is it likely that new processors will come out in the next year or two for socket 1151?

 

2011.v3 is just way too expensive at the moment for me.

More Skylake CPU' s are to come out relatively soon.

Most Intel socket's of the recent years have lasted 2 CPU generations.  You have until the next Intel CPU on 1151.

Thanks guys. How long do you figure processors will be available for the 1150? I know the new tech isn't coming on this socket but do you think the high end ones will be around in 12-24 months?

Kaby Lake will still be 1151, that is already confirmed. They're releasing a new chipset for KL but the current 170/150/130 boards will still work fine.

Also 2011-3 is getting replaced when Skylake-E comes out next year.

How is the availability of those Sandy Bridge (2600k etc) these days? Pretty much only second hand. That is 1150 in 2 years.

From what I can tell all of my buds who are Sandy Bridge still seem to be holding their own.

If there is still high end 1150's in 2 years I may go 1150 this time around. What do you think? Is that dumb of me?

what is your location?

have seen many x99 budget builds that equal or less than z170

 

you need to formulate your needs and buy according to your needs, instead of wants.

location, budget, needs (appz/games), time frame to build

You can't buy them new and nothing higher than the top end at release are available. By the time you consider upgrading to the top it wont be very competitive.

When newer cpus comes out, it does not mean you must upgrade it. Upgrade when it's necessary. This is why some here are still running on 775 or Sandy Bridge.
