Is it worth it waiting for Intel i7 Skylake?


Recommended Posts

Current system spec:

Asus Maximus III Formula

Intel Core i7-860

Wait for Skylake or just get a Xeon 8 core 2011v3.

I will be using this for 3D rendering.

If you are in the US, bills are not a problem I think, get a Xeon. But if you live in Europe, don't get a Xeon or your bills will be very high.

Also: you can consider i7 with multithreading, like i7-2600, if you need something cheap.
