I honestly think everyone should wait for Coffeelake (Unless you need a PC like right this second)

I kinda agree but disagree with you XD, What Im trying to say is waitting is smart so you can get the best performance/dollar possible. The problem is that if you keep waitting and waiting you ll never buy a new CPU or PC whatever. And if someone is to wait my best bet is CannonLake as coffelake is a refresh of KabyLake really... At the time being ryzen (I5s) offers the best experience in general. But when I said that I was talking about the new platform, the X299, because as I said money isnt the issue its how it was Conceived, they didnt straight up said welll have X or Y or Z, they waited for what AMD would release soo when they did they werent caught out.

But good observation, cheers!

My plan at the moment is to keep happily using my i5-6600K for the foreseeable future, and continue to laugh when I see people post about how bad it suddenly is for gaming.

I am pretty sure that no one said that it is bad for gaming, most people simply say that it's not the best option

That would only show lack of understanding.  While it may not be the top option, it's far from "bad".

I will join the people going to X299. I will upgrade from my 6700k to the 7820x. Since I mainly game but get more and more into editing videos and photos, I think this will be my best bet with 8c/16t. Especially since I will never use Multi GPU´s  again, and will maybe use just one NvMe drive 28 lanes is enough for me.

B| yes lets hope. And a refresh on ICP would be nice for 15% performance boost.

IPC doesn't bother me really. There's such a minute difference between Broadwell (and Ryzen) and Skylake/Kaby Lake. It really is the 1GHz max overclock speed difference that is the nail in the coffin for Ryzen in terms of single thread performance.

 

If Ryzen could pull a Bulldozer and overclock to 5GHz you would barely even notice the IPC difference.

Totally true, we will have to see what ZEN 2 brings. Ryzen was also appealling because the AM4 platform is supposed to stay the same for the next 4 years, meaning no mobo updated needed for Zen 1-4

I agree, its time for Ryzen to shine. However I voted other. I already have 6C/12T at Sandy Bridge IPC and 4.3Ghz. I don't need to upgrade anytime soon. If i build a backup PC it will be Ryzen.

Are you planning on doing more then gaming? Way over kill for that, or Threadripper is probably going to be like less than 1/2 the cost.
