I thought about waiting to upgrade for some price drops...
Price drops? When was the last time Intel did any significant amount of those? 15-20 years ago, AMD and Intel were slashing prices so quickly and aggressively that they had to offer refunds to retailers for unsold stock. I do not remember Intel announcing significant price drops in many years. Instead, they simply discontinue chips and you end up with a chip launching at $193 getting discontinued 1-3 years later with a list price still at $193.
The i7-920 launched at $284 and Intel still listed it at $305 by the time it got discontinued... so the price actually went up $21 instead of down.
Same thing happened with Ivy Bridge with most popular i5/i7 models going up $10-20 after launch. I paid $165 (CAN) for my i5-3470 in late 2012 and the current price is $190 on Newegg.com. ($220 CAN on Newegg.ca)
Waiting for Intel to drop prices on stuff may take a long time.
