1155 to Support Ivy Bridge?

[sowexly]

I tried to look around but I don't have any confirmed sources that state Ivy Bridge will be on the H67/P67/Z68 or not.
I would just like some clarification because it looks like SB would be a better investment compared to BD in gaming performance.

With SB you have a huge possiblity of it supporting IVy bridge.

I havent heard intel confirm it but many other tech sites have confirmed that it would most likely be supported.

It seems you'll need a firmware and BIOS upgrade to ensure Ivy Bridge will be compatible with those chipsets.

Actually Intel did confirm it:

IB will be LGA1155 and most current mobos will probably need just a BIOS update. But at the same time there will be H77/P77/Z78 chipsets that are rumored to support PCIe 3.0, though I doubt it, and as well are going to have more SATA 6GB and native USB 3.0. Of course it will be confirmed when it is released but still, LGA1155 will support IB.

Havent been reading the latest tech news.
So i am happy it has started to actually confirm it.

Fantastic, thanks for the info.

BTW I saw some Z68 mobos with PCIe 3.0 already that it's fully supported I doubt will be an option for quite sometime.
