Buy Ivy Bridge Mobile CPU or wait for Haswell??

Thread says it...

Big gamer. Should I wait for Haswell, or buy an i7 Ivy Bridge processor?

Side note: does 6MB cache suffice, or go with 8MB?

Haswell is only expected to be a 10% improvement over ivy in terms of the processor but a big boost for the iGPU. The real question is: Can you wait 6 months?
