New hardware release so fast these days, i'm so busy at college that i don't realize coffee lake even exist, i missed lots of tech news last year

So is it still worth it to buy skylake?

It's my original plan to buy skylake before college but i missed my chance, and since skylake price drop significantly in my country that's an extra points for me

No, not unless the price reduced a ton. But you do realize there was Kaby lake in between? You missed 2 generations.
