I rejected microsofts free upgrade to windows 10.

I am now wanting to upgrade... ive heard kabby lake and ryzen and all future tech will not support 7....

Is this true ?

Also heard kabby lake is no different except for higher base clock speeds?


Any dates on ryzen yet ? Or what offerings theyd have ?

It's a 6700K with nice shiny bumpers. Not much else.

Pretty much the same chip.

If you're buying new...then go for the Z270 and the 7700K. Not worth the upgrade though.
