A Refresh in X99 with upcoming 10c20t Intel Processors
Looks like we may have a refresh of X99 going forward into the Broadwell E processor release.
X99 ala socket 2011-v3 looks to be the last socket to retain support for the likes of Win 7, 8 operating systems from Microsoft. Z170 and above requiring Windows 10 only in the semi-near future as per Microsoft and Intel news releases.
Performance wise, Intel will be hard pressed in coming years to leap very far from Broadwell-E in the way of processor performance although advances in storage and peripherals continue to grow.
Hoping to see some significant feature increases in the upcoming X99 Broadwell refresh from AIB's.
