If you're happy with your current rig, then there's no need to change. That having been said, Ivy is a long way out at the moment (~1 year), so don't expect any news of it anytime soon.

What will IB bring to the table that SB doesn't? Its a die shrink, so expect similar results when Intel has done this in the past. What happened when the 45nm C2Ds came out? You got better thermal numbers, and an extra 500-600MHz on the OCs. I haven't heard of anything special on IB so I don't see why we can't expect the same thing again.

If your rig is fine and its not annoying you then don't worry about upgrading. Upgrade when it no longer does what you need it to.

Well, there's also the potential for a few more cores. That's what Intel did with the extra power budget allowed by the die shrink in Westmere.

Not quite. The new motherboards aren't expected to change for IB. The new boards out today should work.

I however don't like the boards. H67 and P67 each have their merits, and I wish they had a board that did it all.

intel is going to launch a new chip the z68 which is a p67/h67 combo ;)

yeah but theres two sides of 22nm Ivy is one side

Well, yes. After they've perfected the 22nm process with a known architecture (Ivy), then they'll make an all new architecture (Haswell, IIRC) using the matured process.

Forums generally have half the facts going for them.

IMO, Intel will NOT change sockets for Ivy. That would be corporate suicide. The consumer would get mad and refuse the change...unless Intel convice the consumer otherwise.
