hey everyone, i'm currently on a sandy bridge i5 which currently performs perfectly fine for what i need it for. correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems as if skylake and haswell haven't made any ground breaking progress over sandy bridge architecture. however, i do foresee this setup slowing me down and i do plan on upgrading sometime in the future, but as for when, i'm not sure.
from a performance/$ perspective, would it be best to buy during the tock release of new microarchitecture, during their tick die shrink, or during the refresh before the die shrink? and for what reason?
what about buying brand new vs. used?
