Chances of Skylake having a different sized socket

[laazsx]

Hi guys!

The title says it all.
What are the chances that the Skylake chip will have a different sized socket.
I'm planning on getting a Corsair H100i for my FX6100 pretty soon and I'm might be upgrading to a Skylake chip next year.

Don't want to buy something that I won't be able to use on my next PC

Dear lord, that's around 2017? Broadwell will be around late this year and Skylake will be after that. So no sooner than 2016 I'd estimate.

Oppps. I've just reread the article. It's due for production next year. Not release. Stupid me. Thanks for pointing that out for me

Skylake is too far away to have any real details hammered out yet. I found one source suggesting it may be LGA 1151 with DDR4 but with 2+ years left they still have time to decide how they want to go about things.
