I believe that skylake will have a better improved version with possibly a faster stock frequency. Hopefully intel will pull something great off for gaming cpu's. Us gamers are not so interested in the million cores but the Cache and stuff is important!
I'm hoping my 4690K will do me for a while, however I'll always be on the lookout for when Intel release a good gaming CPU :yus:
i5 4690k is PERFECT for todays gaming up to 4k resolution. I just wanted i7 4790k JUST to have it.
It'll last you for a while I truly believe.
Would love an i7 but can't justify the price for what I'll be doing.
Overclock that bad boy! I got mine to 4.4ghz with no experience a couple weeks ago and have been using it at the GHz since.
You can easily get yours to 4Ghz
You got the 4690K too?
I'm not gonna OC until near Christmas. I'm going to get some good CPU cooling and all that.
