Intel Haswell to arrive in low volume until USB 3.0 issue is fixed
Intel will slowdown the ramp of its new Haswell platform until it has fixed a USB 3.0 issue in the Haswell platform that causes some relatively minor issues when a system wakes from S3 sleep mode with devices connected through USB 3.0. Haswell is expected to hit the market in June, but volume will reportedly be "cautiously low" until Intel rolls out a new revision that fixes the USB 3.0 problem.
“Haswell for desktop (Denlow platform) looks set to launch with cautious volume in June using the faulty C1 stepping, and then to see a stronger ramp once the glitch is worked out. Still, this is more than we had hoped for in June. Caution in Ivy Bridge units still likely to constrain gross margin for Intel and contacts point to August as the more significant launch period,” said JoAnne Feeney, an analyst with Longbow Research, in a note to clients, reports Tech Trader Daily.
Earlier this month it was reported that Intel began to inform its partners that when a PC system with Core i-series “Haswell” and 8-series chipset inside wakes from S3 sleep mode, it experiences issues with devices connected through USB 3.0. Intel seemingly defines the issue only as a nuisance for end users, as there would be no serious unpleasant consequences, such as data loss. A quick fix for the problem, which may result in blank PDF pages or failure to resume playback, is already known: a restart of applications. In order to solve the issues with USB 3.0, a new chipset revision is required.

I never put my PC to sleep; it is either on or completely turned off so this issue wouldn't affect me. However, I would personally like acknowledged bugs fixed before I buy a Haswell CPU in the summer.

We can image also that some MB manufacturers will propose an external USB3 controller at the beginning. In that case, the problem will never occur.

Nothing you posted came from Intel.
Your first link quoted an "inside source", the second link was a supposedly leaked internal Intel document (notice the confidential on the bottom of the slide) on a Chinese website. Notice that even Anand and Tom's didn't post that slide.
So where exactly did Intel lead you on to believe that there will be an IB-E for the X79?
"Haswell-E" CPU, "Haswell-ULT" SoC, "Ivy Bridge-E" CPU
there you have it, directly from Aida64 2.85.

For the general consumer they're not gonna be happy about that, I know I don't care as I do it anyways because Ubuntu 12.10 seems to have a USB drive bug with my WDC MyBook, it doesn't put the drive to sleep and causes my fan to rev so I just unplug my drive when my machine's off anyways lol.
