Unless time is $ and you need to get invoices moving, I'd wait for coffee Lake to take a $ drop come November or see what other gotta have stuff drops.
If you work in a regulated industry and don't regularly update your gear every year I'd negotiate a personal equipment allowance.
It's not the CPU+Mobo....it's the ram+GPU that hurts right now.
It is the mobo too, mostly average samples, moved up to an even more pristine board. It's definitely not the cpu....ram is not that bad,....there is plenty of stuff fairly priced and will work well. It's mostly gpu right now...

I wish graphs like those (quoted above) were available for the 8th gen Intel CPUs - 8700 and so on...
Anyone know of such a graph / chart?
Also, what's the best way to determine if your CPU is currently affected by the Spectre / Meltdown vulnerabilities?
Has there been any extensive performance testing with the older architectures? Particularly Ivy/Sandy or even Westmere? I feel like I saw someone's personal testing a while back but I can't seem to find any 3rd party group testing.The 8000-series share microarchitecture with Kabylake, so the performance impact is the same: nearly zero.
Intel published a list of affected CPUs and the schedule of patches for each one. There is also some utility to detect if your CPU is affected, but I don't have the links at hand. Hopefully someone else remember the links and can help you.

Do they really go into the socket upside down?

Yup,So you disabled updates entirely?
Why not wait a little more and get properly secured processor on new faster architecture on new platform?There will always be a new Spectre or Meltdown.
I wouldn't wait...
What do you use processor for and what is the rest of the system (including monitor)?Currently have an i7 2600k and have been thinking of finally upgrading but with the recent news about current processors should I just wait until Intel changes the architecture to fix the spectre and meltdown bugs?
I've never actually installed a Windows update in my life. I did run XP SP3 and currently 7 SP1, though. My current build is like July 2011 or something.
Because it causes massive performance loss? Where have you been?Asking for trouble...why not update and keep your system secure?
