This looks more like a capability update than a speed bump.
Personally I don't think that it's a bad thing.
I guess that the speed bump will come with Cannonlake in 2017.
Also... let's see what Zen brings during 2016. It might get interesting! 🙂

Interesting CPUs will be ZEN 2016, Cannonlake 2017. Not too interested in Kaby Lake personally.

I didn't like the "Enthusiast quad core" part... I hope that Zen kicks ass at reasonable price. I don't have plans to upgrade to another quad core any more.

Doesnt look very exciting, was thinking i may upgrade next year but at this rate i would be better off waiting for Cannonlake in 2017( touch wood my trusty soon to be 6 years old x58 lasts that long )

Just what I thought, doesn't look like much. Looks more like what Skylake probably should have had.
Not even convinced Canonlake is going to be anything special either, its just a die shrink of Skylake. Perhaps we'll see more native USB 3.1 and PCI Express 4.0 alongside the usual 5% IPC

"Kaby Lake will add native USB 3.1 support, whereas Skylake motherboards require a 3rd-party add-on chip in order to provide USB 3.1 ports."
where did you get this information?
other sites say that kaby lake will only support usb 3.0.

The "other sites" you mention are wrong. dwiewolverine
not really interesting..still waiting the next Haswell-E (maybe Canonlake-E) with next X99 (any one know what series chipset?):infinity:

Well... GPU, transcoding and memory support improvements are also important. It's not all "only USB 3.1 support is added, what a let down".
