Looks like it's possible we may get IB earlier than some thought, if this story proves to be accurate.

We just received an invite from Intel regarding a "major" product launch event which will take place on the 6th of March in a "central London" location; the product is most probably the "tick" alter ego of Sandy Bridge, i.e, Ivy Bridge.

The email mentions that it will be "one of the company's key product launches of the year, featuring demos and keynotes by Intel executives and other leading industry figures".

Ivy Bridge is the codename for the 22nm die shrink iteration of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture - which stands at 32nm - and the first to use tri-gate transistors which were showcased back in May 2011 on an Ivy Bridge prototype.

Darn, was planning on getting 3770K when they came out, but thought I had a few more months to make a dent in my credit card.

Oh well, guess will just have to live with it if true :)
 
As the Z77 boards are`nt due for release until April, have to agree with Cooper, just be an official announcement. May even get a release date.
 
All these rumours are getting quite frustrating. Buying hardware is never easy :P
