Once again no major improvement. Still a 4core processor. Wait for Cannonlake / Coffeelake 10nm stuff. That should be interesting, not this.

Thanks for the review! Still 4c/8t for mainstream "performance", AND a new mobo requirement because reasons. Thanks, but no thanks. My next upgrade will be 8c/16t. Everything is multithreaded, and everything that isn't either will be or still run perfectly on Zen.

Z170 boards will support Kaby Lake with updated firmware. The MSI Z170 Gaming Pro has already received an update to add support for Kaby Lake. I haven't updated to it, but the update is available.

Well that was a pretty underwhelming performance. For gaming i mean, only 1 or 2 fps difference most of the time. But i suppose i shouldn't expect much - its only 0.2ghz faster than its predecessor. Intel are getting very lazy these days. I hope AMD lights a rocket under their sluggish asses with Ryzen and forces them to make some breakthroughs.
