    I'd like to know this too and also whether Sandy bridge-E 2011 will get Ivy Bridge-e chips available... with the release today of i7 3820 on socket 2011 for same price as 2700k it might be better to go for 2011...

    It's such a bloody headf@*k - basically trying to get the best value setup whilst all the time being manipulated by the superpower chip maker into buying as many platforms as possible.

    As brook said, BIOS updates will be coming out for P67 boards. However, I don't really see much point in upgrading SB->IB. Overclocking doesn't seem as good due to high temperatures from raised voltages. At stock you get up to 10% improvement over a 2600k.

    Ivy-E isn't out for a long time yet, they've moved it back in the roadmap.

    Re: P8P67 on new ivy bridge on April?

    yeh, I own the P8P67 EVO Board, and upgraded the BIOS to accept the new IVY BRIDGE Chip once they come out... lets hope Intel get it correct, unlike AMD's Slowdozer...

    However, Ive already read previews, on sample chips used by professional reviews, and they do get a good write up, however, they were only allowed to say very little, including intel have successfully made the Ivy Bridge CPU, and its into mass production as we speak, ready for sale (all being well, soon "June")... but that could off course change, brought forward, or delayed.

    However, its like the P55, P67, Z68, X79, & Z77 The list is Growing since the LGA1366, A Few years Ago. Just a lot of platforms intel are rushing through.! I understand the frustration of many.

    On paper the new Ivy Bridge chip, will be a big change for the better / a game changer if you like... I hope to upgrade to the NEW Asus Z77 board in 3 weeks, and drop in my i5 2500K. being backwards compatible, excellent move by Intel.
