Is coffee lake Worth it from Skylake

Others may tell you different, however I would say no. I have a mate who's still using an i7 3770k. He records all his games and edits them and he wouldn't swap that old Intel chip for anything atm.

 

[Adel Yasser]

Nope, unless you suddenly require much more cpu power and are interested in other programs, you should "think about it"
My 6600K will keep me cozy, i cant even think of an upgrade idea until it dies lel

 

[Ross Hazzard]

depends if you drink coffee or not

 

[Matthew Reed]

Na not at all

 

[Harold Giroux]

i'm waiting for the new Cofveve Processor, heard it's da bomb

 

[Abiem Muhammad M]

i u used 6700/7700? no significant improvement *on gaming* if u used as work load yeah its an good upgrade

 

[Kevin Kurniawan]

for a small upgrade (from 6700 to 8700, or 7700 to 8700) its not.

 

[Antonio Grašić]

Only 8700k.

 

[Steven S. Rogers]

No

 

[Jesse Krauss]

not even close. it's just a refresh, same architecture minor improvements, and you need a whole 'nother socket.

 

[Richard Sanders]

no unless you like uber wealthy

 

[Brett Real]

Here's my advice. Ask yourself, "is my processor holding me back?" If the answer is no, don't upgrade.

 

[Alex Ene]

it sort of is,but since ice lake is not that far,i'd say wait for ice lake

 

[James Kimberling]

No

 

[Daniel Troy]

Science Studio YouTube did a comparison of 8700k and 6700k. In gaming, frame increases were marginal so no point if its just media and gaming. But for heavy cpu loads, the 8700k was miles better.

 

[Matthew Plehn]

The new Z370 chipset has some new features that are good...maybe the only reason i would switch

 

[Zach Nowell]

Hell i am getting 4.2ghz out of my skylake...

 

[Andrew Gwartney]

Wait for absolute zero lake.

Every next generation of processors are meh compared to how much GPUs change

if you look back a 4th gen i5 still doesn't bottleneck a 1070 and that processor is 4 years old

If you are mostly gaming I don't think you need to upgrade the CPU for atleast 2-3 years
