When 22nm fab tech settles at intel, and 28nm settles at TSMC and GF, stuff will get a bit cheaper.

The next serious CPU upgrades won't occur for years -- until GF and TSMC move to 20nm. Some improvements might happen sooner, with tri-gate redesigns at 28nm, but it'll be a long while before you need an upgrade if you buy a CPU in the next year (or two)

Core i5 2500K is like $200 and Overclocks like a BEAST!!!

Good for a long long time and Intel's Next Gen CPU will be costly!!!!

Outperforms AMD in like 95% of the Benchamrks and AMD next Gen CPu.....who knows how under-achieving that will be.

I'm sporting the i7 2960XM

Yea AMD is going downhill again. Currently have an i-5. I currently have a 6970 2gb edi but will be switching to nvidia soon :/

shadow27975116d ago

I'm planning on buying the 2500K soon! I'm excited, it'll be part of my first PC build.

The "a few months" this article says is a bit misleading. The closest tech releases in September and most are coming out next year. And honestly, I'd be a little wary of bleeding edge tech. The real benefit is cheaper older tech when the new stuff comes out.

I'm rocking the i5 2500k too. Going to overclock once i either get a second 560 or sell my current one and get a 680 :D

Save money on the cpu = put it elsewhere ;D

Information Minister5116d ago

I've been runnig my i5 2500K at stock speeds for nearly a year. Haven't felt the need to overclock it at all. Mass Effect 3 runs in 1080p60 with my current GTX460.

urwifeminder5116d ago

Got a good deal on 2700k the board i got supports new chips putting it together over the coming weeks when i get around to it looking forward to it also got a 7850 to try out.

Hassassin5116d ago

I'm still rocking a 2500k (bought it at launch)... and not planning to upgrade any soon.
(2 years down the line?)

TheModernKamikaze5116d ago

I have a e2160 1.8 ghz so I'm willing to upgrade

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing27d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit27d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing27d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
