Skylake-E Speculation

[Flavian]

Looking at getting Broadwell-E from a 3770k, but don't want to jump on the x99 platform and have bought into a "dead-end" socket/board.

I know it would be hearsay but do you guys reckon Skylake-E will adopt a new platform?

Either way, Kaby Lake will be my next choice.

Skylake-E will indeed have a new socket and chipset.

Yeah I enjoyed being able to be on 775 for so long and just throw in new cpus at my discretion.

Then I went from a qx9650 on a 790i ultra to a 3770K not realizing it would be my first and last chip for my upgrade to 1155.

It made me kind of salty.

intel has adopted a way to change the socket and chipset on every TOCK (for the tick-tock schedule)

or if you go by the new (architecture-optimization-process) then it's on every Architecture

If LGA2011 came out in 2011, does that mean that if the replacement socket for HEDT CPUs will be LGA2017 and maybe the chipset would be X170? Maybe they'll do like another LGA2011 revision like what Haswell-E and Broadwell-E is on.

.... it has nothing to do with the year numbers... it's about the number of pins in the socket

Well lga 1366 didn't come out in the middle ages, and if anything they should make a new socket so people will stop being confused that 2011-0,2011-1, and 2011-3, chips are not compatible with each other.

I know, 2011 means that there are 2,011 pins.

 

Likewise LGA 1151 means there are 1,151 pins on the socket. But LGA2011 did come out in 2011, and they're more likely to add pins rather than remove pins. Maybe they'll add 6 more pins. Maybe they'll add 159 more pins. Hard to say.

I've heard the server Skylake-EP Xeons are getting an LGA3647 which is to allow for embedded FPGAs,

but that is very unlikely to transfer down to HEDT as well

That's a lot of pins. I suppose in some regard more pins is a good thing?

Actually, according to some people in the internet, LGA 1366 did come out in the Middle Ages.
