hiya tpu,
im still alive so the time has come where a couple of product cycles have passed and we now have, ddr4 a full refined implementation of m.2, another improvement for usb , kaby lake-s processors and pascal titan gpu's.
so I originally thought a 6700k sky lake cpu would be a slight upgrade with 10-15% improvement roughly over my haswell cpu@4.4ghz.
I researched this and in doing so found Kaby lake-s was about to be released.
this changes things as kaby lake-s is going to be a much faster desktop cpu with a 600mhz improvement @stock boost clocks (4.2ghz) over a 6700k's 3.5ghz.
I also found that intels tick/tock(process/architecture - shrink/refine) schedule had been modified and now their cpus are being brought to us using shrink/architecture/optimisation. meaning that kaby lake is an optimisation.
quote - Summing up the 14nm family of processors, Broadwell was the first to utilize the new process while keeping the architectural design close to Haswell. Sky lake was also 14nm but brought significant improvements on CPU and GPU side. The Kaby Lake processors are termed as part of the “Optimization” process which means Intel will be able to extract more performance and better efficiency from existing Sky lake designs.
And so the upgrade is on hold while i wait for the 7700k kaby lake cpu and 200-series socket 1151 chipset to drop. although those with a big enough budget should wait for the broadwell replacement X series with 6,8 and 10 core variant.imo
my next thought was to upgrade the gpu to a titan x pascal while i wait and use the m.2 connection on my current maximus extreme to upgrade my hard drive ready for my new system.
I started reading about the new titan, with 3584 cuda cores and the faster gddr5X memory. i was about to buy one when I came across a leaked document about the next 1080ti. this card will virtually be as fast as the titan only the release date is January. Nvidia is probably waiting for AMD to release the RX490 with the vega gpu only I think this could possibly be a dual polaris10 gpu instead. either way this doesn't change much for me.
my decision has been to upgrade now and I will be placing an order for a new TitanX gpu later this month, I'm going to pick up the m.2 hard drive although the Maximus VI series mPCIe Combo II card only supports upto 2242M.2.
I found a 512gb 2242 M.2 card only I'm not sure if the asus m.2 combo2 card has X4pci speeds.
I'm literally researching this right now, so if anyone has any experience with the asus m.2 combo card. I would appreciate a heads up on the maximum bandwidth I can expect.
answer- asus m.2 combo card is connected to pcie2 giving a theoretical 600mb/s performance. when using the drive you will also have a sata port disabled on your motherboard.
the best route to go is to buy an adapter and make sure you buy a x4 pcie NVMe compatible drive like this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00L0LFDQE/?tag=tec053-21
or wait for the 200 series - The motherboard features the LGA 1151 socket which we know would allow support for both Kaby Lake and Skylake processors on 100-series and 200-series platforms. It should be noted that Kaby Lake would only be supported on the 200-series platforms. The CPU socket is powered by a single 8-Pin power connector while the board is powered by a 24-Pin ATX connector. Expansion slots on the motherboard include three PCI-e 3.0 x16 and three PCI-e 3.0 x1 slots. There’s also two M.2 slots capable of delivering PCI-e x4 speeds. Storage includes two SATA Express and 6 SATA III ports.
wow that's 2 nvme capable M.2 slots for 40000+mb/s raid wow!
thanks in advance.
