I have been wondering this too, but to be honest, I am now questioning the sanity of such a wait for Haswell.

6 weeks and it is released, bugs n all, with a few motherboards. But how long before it is refined, bugs ironed out, or we see CPU revisions, or better motherboards for Haswell ?

I am now thinking it is not worth buying such a new CPU straight away, but wait till it is established, gained it's reviews podiums, and that there is selective high performing motherboards and system reviews to gauge performance and purchase choices by.

Maybe 6 months to a year after release before stable top performance choices of motherboards, CPU's and coolers are available to select from?

There probably won't be revisions of Haswell as Haswell itself is a revision of Ivy Bridge on a new socket pretty much. And you're probably looking at a 5-10% increase again if you're lucky.
 
Going from Ivy Bridge to Haswell will very likely be the same performance jump as going from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge.... sadly we will not see the same performance jump there was when going from Lynnfield to Sandy Bridge.

Haswell I can tell you now is the same die process as Ivy. Just with solder a new socket type and a few other slight "increases" to performance that are rather worthless in all retrospect. I think Intel have actually now gone "we should stop going smaller and actually work on adding proper features"

Well, I'm waiting for it's release and it's benchmarks and reviews before deciding on how it performs. Anything else at this stage is just speculation.

I'm picking up my Intel Core i5 3570 non-K today (my first Core i5 ever) and I'm a bit excited to see how fares against my Core i7 3930K and AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (which both are hexa cores :)
I always viewed Hyper Threading as something as a nice bonus, but not a real deal breaker as such.

If you haven't already bought this take a look at the Xeon E3 1230 V2.

True dat. But the gaps in performance increase are getting smaller and smaller. So don't expect anything over 10% at best.
