Hey everyone, I am super pumped to finally see the Xeon scalable Skylake processors released, since I've been ancticipating them and the Purley platform for a few years now. I have been waiting to update my Gulftown workstation in the hopes of using a Purley replacement, but I am sad to see that there there is no replacement for the E5-16xxx single-socket processors yet. Does anyone know if those are coming, or point me to any rumor links (I understand those that know are probably under NDA)?
At the moment the dual-proc Skylakes are at a fairly high price premium compared to the E5-16xx V3/V4 for my intended use case (mostly Lightroom, with 6-8 highly clocked cores being ideal), so I'm debating using a Gold 5115 or Gold 5118 or just building a used eBay spite build on a 2687W v2 or 2690 v2 to tide me over...
