So what does the future hold for socket 1155? I know some ivy bridge will use it, but it seems thats it, a year of 1155 then the next socket, i ask this because i dont want to upgrade cpu till the final 1155 cpus are on sale, like if i buy an i5 2500k then ivy bridge comes and im dissappointed and feel like i shouldve waited and saved money.

Not like i need to upgrade at the moment but my motherboard is H61 so no overclocking
 
Everytime you buy something it's only a small matter of time until the next release comes out. Theres no way around it IMO. Just take the plunge and you'll be fine for a good few years.

Yes i know but i dont need the i5 2500k its just a want, i dont do anything that really demands the cpu so i could definately wait, but it would just be nice to know how much 1155 has left in it, will the cpus after ivy bridge support 1155, like that because if not then i can get a nice ivybridge cpu when it comes along
 
I read somewhere that lga1155 will be replaced by lga 1150 for haswell

seems like after nehalem every 'tick' means new socket
 
It's a PITA but technology moves on and generally we have to get a new mobo every chip change (Intel) but Ivy bridge will be around for a number of years and I trust this to be adequate for that time also.
I upgraded to the I5 2500K just before christmas and am very pleased with it and can see me staying with this chip for a good couple of years and I will probably not bother with Ivy unless it blows the I5 out the water.
 
I dont have a desktop right now. So im waiting for Ivy B. Once i have that built i personally expect to stay with the same socket/cpu for a minimum of five years. So for me im looking way beyond haswell and in that time who knows where our technology may be.
 
X79 & 3930k if you're at all concerned about future proofing if not just grab a cheap sandy/ivybridge setup.

Skylake & Skymont seem to be scheduled for 2015/2016 at the moment.

Not quite 5 years.

Well what i was getting at is get something now half decent and skip Haswell Architecture. Just got to look at the i7 thread to see a lot of people sticking to their guns and not upgrading till they really need to, which usually will be a couple of generations. I myself with be upgrading from Conroe to IvyBridge-E skipping Nehalem completely. Seems like most shrewd way of doing it than upgrading every new release. 4 years 5 years who cares :)

So, while im here i will ask you - I say im waiting for Ivy B but that waiting is incredibly hard. i have a hideous itch to build something NOW lol. If i buy an unlocked i7 or i5 now what exactly will i be missing out on when Ivy B does arrive, apart from the lower power consumption and maybe an extra 100-200mhz.
Im not even sure how much more the new mobos will have for Ivy B that the current ones have or will be able to have via a bios update.

That's a lot to infer from what you posted.
