im holding out for this next cpu release and unless I see meaningful differences.
I am in the process of building a new system now going to use a haswell chip, due to skylake not having enough pci lanes. Come on Intel 20 lanes are you kidding..
You have it backwards. Skylake will have support for 40+ PCI-E 4.0 lanes. You are thinking of the Intel Haswell-E 5920K CPU which only has support for 20 PCI-E 3.0 lanes.
skylake specs
14 nm manufacturing process
LGA 1151 socket
Z170/H170 chipset (Sunrise Point)
Thermal design power (TDP) up to 95 W (LGA 1151)
Support for both DDR3 SDRAM and DDR4 SDRAM in mainstream variants, using custom UniDIMM SO-DIMM form factor with up to 64 GB of RAM on LGA 1151 variants.
Support for 20 PCI Express 3.0 lanes (LGA 1151)
Support for Thunderbolt 3.0 (Alpine Ridge)
64 to 128 MB L4 eDRAM cache on certain SKUs
Up to four cores as the default mainstream configuration
Support for SATA Express
AVX-512 F, CDI, VL, BW, and DQ for the Xeon variants
Intel MPX (Memory Protection Extensions)
Intel ADX (Multi-Precision Add-Carry Instruction Extensions)
Skylake's integrated Iris Graphics GPU supports Direct3D 12 at the feature level 12.0
From what i have read Skylake will not have 4.0 lanes until the "-E" (extreme) version (for which the release is expected in 2017)
