Haswell-E you are my only hope! Just hope it's not another 2 year wait, 4 years with the same Motherboard and CPU? Ugh, shoot me. |
With AMD strugling in the high end market with their CPUs the market has really stagnated. I don't really think that is going to change any time soon either, so better settle in for a future of incremental upgrades. At this point the only thing that looks to really shake up CPU performance is a major achitecture change like 3D ICs and stacked DRAM which is still a ways off. Or replacing silicone with something else like graphite or carbon nanotubes but that as a even longer ways off. Unless by some miracle Intel get some real competition soon at the high end it will be the status quo.
