Thats what will take over as they discontinue the 920, so says here.

Will this be any better, or just a little faster standard clock speed?

Unless its 32nm i honestly don't care tbh lol and even then the current 920 D0s clock very well already so if its just slightly extra clock speed i wouldn't say its worth waiting for over the 920.

I think a lot of people are thinking that aswell. The only other thing that may pursuade people is if the 930 has the updated memory controller of the Lynnfield processors (officially supporting 1333MHz and having the lower read and write access latencies) which combined with the tri-channel controller could make its surprisingly faster/more efficient.
