Ivy Bridge worth waiting for?

[Alex92]

Hey guys new on here.

Just wanting to get your opinions and thoughts on wether or not Ivy Bridge will be worth the wait (March-April?) or just to go with an i5/i7?
I don't mind waiting at all if it's definitely going to be worth it and the prices are not extremely high.

Would much appreciate it if someone could give me some info on this.

Thanks!

What are you upgrading from, or do you not currently have a machine of your own?

If what you have at the moment is good enough to carry you through the next 6 weeks or so then by all means wait for Ivy; if however you need something right away then a Sandy Bridge based system will happily run everything you can throw at it for many years to come.

Thanks for replies, sorry didn't notice the other thread. Currently have a 3870x2 with Q9450 system so is dated but think I will wait for Ivy Bridge
