I agree, however due to being stuck on 4 cores for 10yrs, many could afford to wait for the last 5-6yrs. I have a feeling once we get 8core intel we will be stuck there for another 10yrs(mainstream). I'm patiently waiting that jump off point!There is always something around the corner. You can #waitforever

OK let me rephrase the timeframe to 6-7yrs aka q1 2011 2600k. ANd 8core going forward 6-7yrsIf you got a 10 year old 4 core its turd slow and it have nothing to do with core count.
CFL is already the point where even the most stubborn SB owners are jumping.
Only 1 ITX board and its overpricedAfter the Z270 nonsense Intel pulled, I'm not playing their games with the mainstream platform. 7820x/X299, and ride it out for a while. Budget builds...Ryzen 1600/B350. i5-8400 is a ghost chip and no comparable H3XX/B3XX motherboards to save some cash.
Are you mad that the 9700k is around the corner with being released or are you happy with your purchase ?
You got a gaming 7 for $150?I happily paid $379 for the chip and $150 for Gigabyte's top board.
Which is why I did not make the jump yet. I am going to wait this time for something to blow my socks off. My 6700K has zero issues doing anything I do with it.Honestly, the jump from 6700k to 8700k was less 'whoah this is fast!' and more 'not gonna worry about it for a while'.
Nothing I do (yet) is core-hungry, but gaming remains hungry for more single-core performance, so if Intel can improve substantially on that point, and they may, then they might get my money. You know, if there's a need from an application standpoint as well.
Should AMD fanboi be pissed off that Ryzen 2 coming out a year after Ryzen with a suppose 12c cpu that boost to 5.1 ghz!?!?!?!Are you mad that the 9700k is around the corner with being released or are you happy with your purchase ?
I bought one and returned it. Got a 7820x.
I also have an 8600k which is a MUCH better price to performance ratio strictly for gaming.

Now when 8 core Intel becomes mainstream...

I did the math and the 7820X+Mobo+PSU would have cost me about $250 extra, 40% more than my CFL build.
Not sure about that.

I know it wasn't real from the get go but AMD fanboys still believe and hope they crush Intel. Only then to see AMD become Intel.That is a totally debunked rumor haha... Apparently some douche made a fake slide and got everyone in a tizzie over it.

Again that point is mute to me. The performance gap between ryzen 1 and 2 is not worth it with a platform upgrade or not. You can still sell the old Intel platform to offset the cost of a new platform if you really need to get the lastest and greatest each gen. I have never upgraded a cpu without a MB upgrade along with it.Ignoring the 12c/5.1Ghz...
AMD is at least a 12 month gap (which is normal). Intel went from 7700k to 8700k within 8 months and also required a new motherboard which a year old AMD setup does not. Intel "might" move to 9700k 9 months later and "might" need a new motherboard again. AMD seems to be more upgrade friendly than Intel right now...not a fanboi comment, just an observation.

Just because YOU haven't upgraded a CPU doesn't mean nobody else has. Ryzen 1 to Ryzen 2 (or 1+ as it really sounds like it's going to be) might not be a big jump other than the clockspeed, but neither was pretty much anything between the 4th Gen Core and 7th Gen Core CPU's. We don't really know what the 2018 Ryzen is going to look like. Probably not worth upgrading. The next gen Ryzen in 2019 or whenever it is coming out will probably be worth an upgrade, and should be a drop in replacement. You're making it sound like that's a bad thing because you like new motherboards all the time.
I am sure I am more in majority in the upgrade path then ones that do every gen. It cute you think most MB manufacturers will be releasing bios updates for the new CPUs. They rater you buy a new MB also. I'm sure a bunch will release one for 2018 ryzen but forget anything past that.Just because YOU haven't upgraded a CPU doesn't mean nobody else has.

At least you are living up to that poof.Are you mad that the 9700k is around the corner with being released or are you happy with your purchase ?

That crossed my mind when I typed it....He's not really living "up" to it.
but you did not need a new motherboard for the 7700k if you had skylake. And while current AMD motherboard supposedly will support the new CPU's there will also be new motherboards with extra features for them, just like with skylake and kabylake.
If you got a 10 year old 4 core its turd slow and it have nothing to do with core count.
