Wise Old Owl
Buying whole new computer. No upgrades.
Wanted to know which Intel generation should I go for.
6th Gen is little old.
7th Gen comparatively new and same price of 6th Gen
8th Gen upcoming, but news coming it will be released in 2017.
My confusion, about considering these Gen.
For 6th Gen - there is not significant improvement in 7th Gen, so considered 6th Gen.
For 7th Gen - similar price, and improvement in x265 compatibility. Higher clock speed and low TDP.
For 8th Gen - coffee lake, many saying it's similar update like 6th to 7th gen. Releasing this year and may be same 1151. Only if it's worth to wait.
Buying computer in 2 weeks.
So what should I do?
Buy old, current or wait for future?
