Should I wait for ZEN or should I just jump aboard to the Skylake train.
Though I'm not entirely sure now is my CPU is able to pull it's weight.
But I know at least I think it's still not bottlenecking my GPU ?
Based on how it performance in games, no weird random FPS drop, some games it does pegged at 90% ++ on 4 Cores, but GPU seems to be still working at 100% as well.
I'm guessing my CPU is still fine ? ( I'm seeing this in DooM, Battlefield 1 BETA, Fallout 4 for Fallout 4 I think it's more of an Optimization issue, people actually recommending i7 for this game yet even with an i7 you be suffering terrible FPS drop )
As I know, ZEN is a whole new Architecture, now I can pretty much say that almost NONE of the new Tech stuffs these days have a SMOOTH launch.
Even if ZEN were to release, I doubt it be actually " stable " for least few Months or maybe even Years wouldn't it ?
Ranging from Mobo issues to CPU even. Have you guys seen Gigabyte Z170 boards ? People had to constantly update their BIOS to fix all sort of problems.
As for CPU wise, I guess Skylake didn't had any real issues, mostly are on the boards, but what was that about your CPU cooler may damage your CPU?
So guys what's your opinion? Just go for Skylake or wait for ZEN to release or maybe " stable " even...
But what made me hesitated from moving to Skylake is because honestly, Intel CPU and Mobo pries now are just disgustingly expensive...it's sickening !
