So, I'm in a dilemma of just dropping the ball and buying a new system for quite few days now. Was determined to buy 6700k because it's brand new, but then got steered away by the 5820k with its 6 cores but slightly older platform. Don't like the idea of buying a platform that still has bunch of USB 2.0 ports and all that.
Now I'm back to 6700k, but this time because I'm wondering how likely it is for LGA1151 receiving a 6 or 8 (preferably with 12 and 16 HT threads) core CPU in the future (lets say mid to late 2016)? Any Intel charts on their future plans regarding this?
Because if I grab 6700K now and replace it with a 6 or 8 core later, this would be great. New platform with newer lithography and more cores at a later point. But if Intel only releases 4C/8T CPU's for the LGA1151, that will be s*it. And now I can't decide what to go for since I can screw myself pretty badly if there won't be 6 or 8 cores...
This will be a ~1000€ upgrade so I want to think this through thoroughly, that's why I'm asking about it on so many ends and regarding so many things...
