You basically just contradicted yourself.

Only convoluted, not contradictory ... I realize fanboyism is actually something else, but I like to define it in terms of rationality ... if you favor one company over other for your own benefit it's beyond fanboyism because it's logical.

As others have said, unless all the cores, and functionality is there its not an overclock....waste of a news article.

That isn't a thing. There is still an overclock regardless of number of cores. Hell AMD/Intel marketing call their item's peak turbo clocks out and those are single core. So I guess the 9590 isn't "really" doing 5ghz.

OK, a lot of negativity here. It's our hobby for gods sake! Differing views are always welcome. Crap is not. Fact is best. Flaming is childish - totally.

A simple request for a simple opinion gents (no mention of cores, purely practical scenarios).

Will Kaby be better than Skylake.
Will Kaby OC better than Skylake.
From what gen latest is it worth upgrading? (e.g. Haswell - Kaby. Worth it?)

I hope people will express opinions which mean real world for the majority. So gaming, and 24/7 safe usage. Air or Water, no LN2 - that deserves it's own thread.

All opinion, particulary if backed up by realworld condition fact would be great. I haven't seen any yet, but am on Ivy. Wondering - upgrade necessary?
