> want you to pay us to use Skylake I already use a nice E3 Skylake workstation at work, thank you very much. Could be an E5 or a big i7 with more cores (I just rechecked on ark and I guess it's still not available publicly for Skylake, but I also guess this can not held for very long...), but we want it to be close to our product target, which is an E3, so E3 it is. For tons of practical purposes, lots of reasonable E5 are comparable to what you can get with the biggest i7 -- and during the last gen for tons of practical purposes gen to next gen comparable CPU have only progressed slightly. Of course there are workloads where you want to use the most insane CPU, or some CPU with new features / better perf in some niche workload, and so over, but when you start to have such advanced needs I doubt a little that OTS platform solutions are better for the majority of people with highly advanced needs... But yeah, on the mass of people, some will remain interested by "your" solution. Meaning mainly Intel solution, given how you advertise Skylake soo much...
