Skylake is due to be announced in August, but it may take a few months before we see the chips.

It is expected to be another 5% increase over Broadwell, which may put it 8-10% over Haswell. The more significant improvement seems to be in the iGPU.

Of course, until actual benchmarks are out, this is all conjecture.

Skylake should be 25-30% faster clock-for-clock than Sandy, so you will likely find it almost every bit as boring after a short while. I personally do not bother with upgrades smaller than 100% and at this rate, I may be using my i5-3470 until 2020 unless it blows up or I absolutely need some of the new interfaces that will come along long before then.

I don't think the upgrade will be boring, My upgrade from the 3570k to a 4790k @ 4.6 cache and clock was certainly a big step.
If the OP upgrades to Skylake he is also getting a more advanced and refined chipset...

Did you end up getting the skylake? I know they're hard to find, the only place I've seen the 6700k is in Akihabara earlier this month...
