Next intel gens?

[TERMINAX]

Well, I come from a intel core duo 2 and it's obvious anything it will be fine for me now but i want the top profit. I guess coffe lake it comes on october and it will be 6/12 maybe on 14nm++, the question is, they will bring something new at the start of 2018? And Do you think will be a great improvement in Icelake? I don't want buy something and in few months be in the market something much better just for haven't waited enought

Thanks

When you buy a component in a PC build, there will always be something better on the market a few months later because this world so rapidly advances. You don't have to upgrade every time a new 'better' thing shows up—for example, if you purchased an i7-7700K recently, and the 8th generation processors show up in like 3 months from now, you don't have to upgrade to an i7-8700K just for 19% performance better.

But that doesn't mean you should get a Kaby Lake right now, when the Coffee Lake is about to show up. Also note that most of the time, Intel ***** people up with every new technology released—it always requires a new motherboard (just like Kaby Lake and 200-series, and Coffee Lake and 300-series).

If you wait for the next best thing, you will wait forever.
If you have a need now, buy now.

It looks like coffee lake this year is about 6 core processors. If your budget allows for one, and that is what you need, then perhaps you should wait.

OTOH, if you need many threads for batch apps, ryzen is a good deal.

Well, right now i need upgrade for two reasons, 1 i like videogames and i can play nothing and 2 i was starting to learn after effects sony vegas some 3d stuffs and maybe in future stream. Right now with this pc i can do nothing except use browser or things with low charge.
