considering the deals i got on my SB chips, i probably wont change during ivy bridge and may even withstand haswell in 2013 or whenever
 
I might do, my Q6700 doesn't go much past 3Ghz and I was hoping that Ivy Bridge will have overclocking features similar to what can be found on Sandy Bridge-E thus making overclocking accessible to lower end models.
 
Ive got a 930 fully stable in linx,occt,ibt and prime running at 4.4 with Ht-on which is more than enough,i wont be upgrading to ivy bridge as i dont need to,just gonna be high end keplar in q3/q4.
 
Depends how they compare to the i5 2500k, price-wise and performance-wise, my planned upgrade is to overclock a 2500k, once I can afford it, but depending on the reviews... I might go for IvyBridge :D
 
I can't understand why anyone who has Sandybridge would move over, unless they like having new tech.
 
i will but not from sandy from my 920. mainly because i hate this mobos pcie spacing, causing too much heat, if my old p6t deluxe still worked i'd probably wait until whatevers rounnd the corner around the time of the console refresh as i reckon thats the time ill actually need to upgrade from a performance perspective

I've only just upgraded to an i7 2600 from a 4 year old Phenom 9550! So i think upgrading to IVY bridge would be breaking the upgrade cycle for me :p
 
i might but not for a while. few years yet and only if i to upgraded it for a job. ie from 2500k. to i7 for lots more work on AutoCAD
