Will there be new motherboard series for Haswell-E?

Haswell-E CPUs will fit onto any current motherboard with Socket2011, but will motherboard vendor release (at the same time or later on) some sort of "refreshed" socket2011 mobos with new features (eg. new SATA chip) or just anything to refresh the market, or will they continue to produce and sell the current models?

To be a bit more precise with my question: Currently we have X79 mobos. Is it possible that something like X89 is released that will still be socket 2011 with new features?

Haswell-E isn't due out for a long time and will need a new socket (x99 I think)

Ivybrige-E is due out in September and will be using the x79 platform and I'd imagine that current motherboards would need a bios update to be compatible. There may be new motherboards released but they'll all be x79.

Oh I ment Ivybridge-E indeed.

Ivy E is X79 for sure.
