Is there any reason to upgrade to Skylake?

Really though, is there some killer new feature that I don't know about? I'll need to upgrade my PC next year, and I probably wont change my CPU if I don't have to.

Only difference is ddr4, some motherboards have usb 3.1 natively, a few more PCI lanes, and support for some faster ssds.

Just OC the 2500k and enjoy. It should overclock like a motherfucker compared to the newer ones.

Sandy is the best architecture currently.

Most of the useful upgrades would not come from the CPU, but from the associated PCH.

Skylake uses 8x PCI-E v3, rather than 8x PCI-E v2 in Broadwell to connect to the PCH, which gives much greater bandwidth and flexibility to ports and secondary hardware (HDD, SSDs, etc).

Yeah, it's also missing thermal paste under the heatspreader.

So would I be a fool to stay with the 2500k and get a fancy Intel NVMe SSD?

Yes, the only unfoolish course of action at the moment is to wait for zen

Fucking this. Wait for Zen and compare it to what Intel has at the moment. Get what suits your needs then.

What if I currently have a fucking AM2 system and I suspect either PCI-E v1 or DDR2 is being a bottleneck in some tasks? (CPU and GPU load very low, SSD idle and yet modern i5 completes the same task 2-3 times faster)

why would you buy a 6700k when you can buy a 5820k?
