CPU will last far past until the new lines are released. Some of us are running CPUs still that were made long before Skylake and still achieve the same, if not better, performance.
I'll put my 3930K against a 6700K any day.
well sure. 3930k is a 600$ 6 core 12thread processor.
But nevertheless that the 3930k is almost twice the price, the i7 6700k is almost as good due to much higher IPC.
EDIT: here you can look up the performance increase of the different architecures:
