Is anyone waiting for Coffee Lake?

Eh, not really waiting for it.

 

Current computer (OC'd X58 6c/12t xeon) does everything I need it to. I'm content buying a better GPU at some point to run the newer games and leaving everything else alone. I don't feel a need to upgrade CPU, and haven't...since X58 was a thing.

 

I was leaning towards building a crazy powerful threadripper or X299 rig but then realized all I do on my home computer is game, and only do that a handful of times a month. Better GPU would be most noticeable and the best bang for the buck upgrade. I have a crazy powerful workstation at work to do...work on. I don't need anything fancier than what I have at home to game on.

I was going to do an i7 8700k extreme build but since it is delaying shrugs, might as well wait for ice lake or something, this i7 6700 does every thing for the most part any ways

likely everyone will OC the 8700k to a 4.2GHz minimum

I sure am waiting, it operates at 4.3 on all cores stock turbo btw, single threaded up to 4.7 o.0

 

definitely keen to try for 4.8+ on all cores, i was going to wait for ryzen 2.0 to see if they can get their IPC and frequencies up a bit but, intel has waved a dismissive hand and just plopped out a very attractive offering to trounce the 1700.
