GamersNexus: "ASUS, ASRock, Biostar, EVGA, Gigabyte, and MSI have all shown off their latest products – each not wanting the other to steal the spotlight. We have compiled the specs for the new Skylake Z170 chipset motherboards for our latest round-up. Our previous guide was the Z97 roundup. I suppose a yee-haw is in order."
The Skylake lineup is a reminiscence of better times for team blue when AMD was still struggling in the CPU space and BrianKrzanich was the CEO.
Not in my PC. That trusty i5-6500 will continue humming into the uncertain future.
Side-channel leak in Skylake and Kaby Lake chips probably affects AMD CPUs, too.
with all these hacks affecting so many cpus, guess its time to back to the old pen and paper.
With all these exploits , they still dammand a higher price for CPU's , GPU's and RAM.
Its getting very expensive for the avarage joe to build a half decent PC these days.
Intel is prepping its Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X high-end desktop processors for a launch in Q3 2017, just in time for Gamescom 2017.
