I'm debating whether to upgrade my current Intel system to the speedier 3930 cpu socket 2011. Now that Haswell has been released and no word on a new "high end" socket, do you think socket 2011 will remain the fastest for about the next year? Anybody know what Intel's plans are with regarding a speedy socket? I would hate to buy some expensive pc parts to upgrade the system this month just to have Intel release a faster socket in the near future and then watch prices fall.

Thanks all for the help!

Haswell E will use socket LGA 2011-3 and will not be backward compatible with LGA 2011. But for life of Ivybridge E, socket LGA 2011 will be Intel's highest end platform. I think the change has to do with DDR4 compatibility.
