I might just wait for Ryzen rather than buying the new Kaby Lake then. I'd be severely disappointed if this is way overhyped again though. I already am very cynical, but now that AMD said that they won't overhype it this time, if it still proves to be I think they may have lost me as a customer for a long while.

Why would you buy Kabylake with your 4970K anyway? Imo at least true 8core to somehow call it a proper upgrade or don't bother. 🙂

Because I bought the Corsair Dominator Platinum Special Edition DDR4 months back and it's sitting on my desk doing nothing because the 4790k is DDR3 :bang: Otherwise you'd have a very good point. I probably wouldn't do it were it not for the DDR4, but I decided to just create a completely new build with a chrome/nickel theme and a full custom waterloop. It's the first time I'll build a PC from scratch rather than replacing parts one-by-one when needed, so I'm quite excited about it as well.

Hi. Long time no see. It's strange of you Hilbert not to credit where you got the news of the easter egg in the CanardPC publication, or where the magazine's picture as confirmation of the digital version came from. Doing it the WCCFtech way, I suppose. Here it is. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5krghq/remember_the_canard_pc_magazine_about_zen_it_has/ It's certainly exciting. Only a week to go for CES! AMD will be there. I'm pretty sure Intel is following all of this with lots of attention.

I see, fair enough. But still wait 2-3more months its not that long. If Ryzen doesn't deliver to your expectations then try X99 or better yet upcoming X299 Skylake-X platform.. http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/intel-skylake-x-series-cpu-photo-surfaces.html Still a long way to go though, Ryzen will be out sooner. Mainstream Z270 is imo not worth it, since its just another 4core..

Will they ever come out with a single core cpu? They run better that way.
