Unfortunately, there's really nothing out there that is pushing Intel to push out Haswell. AMD doesn't seem to have any answers to it anyways...
I wished AMD did... but it doesn't seem to unless Steamroller can increase performance to its levels while keeping power low which AMD doesn't seem to have that luxury these days.

By the rate AMD is going Intel don't need to rush things. I'm not convinced yet of Haswell until i see some bench or OC. For all we know with no competition Intel virtually do what it wants with the new CPU. But seriously with the capital that Intel has why don't they just lower the prices of their CPU and just kill off AMD.

Killing off AMD will result in increased market prices for Intel since that would create a monopoly. AMD's are still good for budget builds, if you don't mind the power consumption of their CPUs though.

AMD first needs to learn the basics, like ABC marketing, figuring out correct launch dates and not crapping into your own hat.
Note: NO forms of advertising or promotions to end user allowed untill 2 June.

Now roll back few days ago when AMD announced weirdly named HD8000 M, and went with PR about "2nd gen GCN", therefore making life even harder than it already is for HD7000 reselers.
And they do this all the time. Before that it was HD7000 crapping all over Q4 and Xmas sales of existing HD6000, although for example HD7950 was not available even theoretically until February, and in volume even later.

Another new socket makes me start to dislike Intel more and more. Talk about moneygrabbing from the masses.

I sometimes look forward just as much to a new mobo as I do the CPU. Even if there were no socket changes I'd probably still upgrade the board for the new chipset, features and improvements it would bring.

Ivy Bridge-E will be the next LGA2011 processor...

Will upgrade if GTA V brings my current setup to it's knees
