hahaha nope Intel is the one with too many sockets. 1155 → 1150 → 1151 is just ridiculous, and 2011-v3 is electrically different from 2011 as well.

- jlebrech 10y ago1151 has the most CPU options right now, no?
- floatboth 10y agoEssentially two options: Skylake and Kaby Lake (which is a slightly more efficient update of Skylake). And seems like no future beyond that. Counting the individual SKUs is kinda pointless, they're just cut down versions of the same chip.
- onli 10y agoThat is irrelevant. If you get a proper i5 now, the only upgrade option you are sure to have is the i7-7700K, and if you are lucky there might be i7 of the next line. Absolutely buy an intel processor if it is the right fit for you (=you are a gamer), but don't expect to re-use the mainboard for your next processor - only plan with that if you go with a Pentium G4560 for now. Then you can upgrade to a better processor of the current generation.
