Jam this into an M.2 slot for ≥ twice the speed of SATA-Express.

Are there any limitations with this kind of device?

What's Zen?

If anything, I cannot believe the mileage I'm getting out of my 2500k. A whole new rebuild isn't worth it for > 10%. The only new thing I'm going to miss is NVMe which is still in it's infancy.

The latest PCI-E SSDs take up so many lanes (and consumer CPUs provide so few lanes) that they steal bandwidth from your GPU anyway.

This is only the case with Dual-GPUs.

I need to take a step back and while the performance gains aren't necessarily impressive from the desktop perspective or for those of us power users whom are still on Sandy Bridge but what does it mean of HTPCs and Laptops?

Five years of these CPU releases that barely budge the performance needle. This is really getting tiresome.

From a power users perspective yes but when it comes to mobile, efficiency and datacenter things have drastically improved but we don't see much of that.

Looking at the current roadmap I'm not even sure if Cannonlake will be much of a upgrade.

For the most part a OCed 2500k will be just as fast as the newer chips at the same clocks. But it does depend on your workload so you might want to read some reviews and see if newer chips have anything significant to offer you.

From the initial Skylake benchmarks there isn't much of an imperative reason to upgrade. Performance gains are roughly 5-10% and SATA-Express with NVMe isn't that much of a boost either.

My plan is to try and wait for whatever's after Cannon Lake which won't be until 2018-2019.

I'm a little unsure of Intel's new roadmap but Skylake is a tick with Kaby Lake and Cannonlake both tocks.

It seems that we shouldn't get expect substantial CPU Performance gains until 2018 - the next tick.

Overall, I can't see reason to leave Sandy Bridge. Sure, there's a big IPC increase but it doesn't translate into substantial real-world results.

Oracle has been making their own processors for a while but I don't believe it even holds a single percent of the market even for HPC.

Last I heard it went something like 90% Intel, 9% IBM and 1% Other.

I'm completely lost as to what runs on those servers other than some legacy Solaris Application.

Is there anything from Kaby Lake that's remotely appealing to Power Users?

Additional PCI-E lanes are cool but at the sane time that's only important to SLI/Crossfire users.

$650, not much new besides the picture and price I guess. And comes with a non skull cover! I saw some other articles saying dual m2 slots too.

This is goddamn incredible.

How does a mobile i5 compare to the desktop i5? I'm sure if it's faster but is it enough to play modern games? I'd rather buy one of these for my next PC than anything else.

Considering laptop makers have been selling them in units of millions already, not really. Intel just decided to give a name to the laptop class.

I'm not following, weren't netbooks an abysmal failure?

Although, I suppose you may argue that with a minimum of 4GB RAM and a SSD Standard it may be worthwhile but I feel that OEM will merely just throw in the worst chassis, screens, keyboards and trackpads.
