I'm guessing early fall. I believe intel said it would be Q2 2015 which has now begun but things are pretty quiet so I might have to put some stock into the reports that its going to be delayed. I've read in the past that this 14nm process was a "bitch" and well they really don't need to. A 4790k still sells for 340$ even though a FX-8350 sells for half and is a very close competitor in benchmarks (by far a better value) and probably a better performer in boinc or very close again but better value. I think i'll probably end up buying a used 4790k or 8350 when you guys upgrade to skylake and then buy your skylakes a couple years later.
