A Russian website made a list detailing a slew of upcoming Ivy Bridge desktop processors for socket LGA1155 motherboards, complete with model numbers, core counts, number of threads, clockspeeds, Turbo speeds, L3 cache, and TDP ratings. There are 18 models in all, and all but one of them are quad-core parts (the one that isn't is a dual-core processor).
Russian website overclockers.ru compiled the list based on information it plucked from Chinese colleagues over at CoreSCN. At the top of the list is an unlocked Core i7 3770K processor with four cores and eight threads. It's clocked at 3.5GHz (3.9GH Turbo) with 8MB of L3 cache and a 77W TDP.
Bringing up the rear is a Core i5 3330S processor with four cores and four threads. It's clocked at 2.7GHz (3.2GHz Turbo) with 6MB of L3 cache and a 65W TDP.
Several other processors sit in between clocked anywhere from 2.5GHz to 3.5GHz, all with at least 6MB of L3 cache. According to Overclockers.ru, Ivy Bridge will start to trickle out in April 2012.

Haswell is the next tock and I can't see any reason to wait for it. At present it won't have anything over Ivy Bridge except for a new socket, instruction sets no one cares about, and a graphics core that I'll never use.
County me in for an Ivy Bridge + Geforce 600 build next summer.

Ditto on some other NVIDIA. I might trade up to a 580 SC from a 570 SC if the price is right and supply holds--instead of waiting for a 600. Yet, the 600's should be out pretty soon--probably before my trade-up time runs out.

I'm in for the 3770K unless it is unrealistically more expensive than the 2600k.

I know this is merely a tick, and not a tock, but I won't upgrade for less than 8 cores/16 threads.
Until then my 2600K will hold me strong.

Honestly I don't even need the upgrade, but I still really really want one. Is that bad?

My Q9300 LGA 775 is needing an upgrade, this is looking like it. 3.5-3.9GHz at 77W!? dear God! That thing will run circles around my Q9300 while only sipping a fraction of the juice.

I can't wait for Ivy Bridge to come out. Hope it lives up to the hype. Can't wait to get this proc in my first build - my 3.5 year old laptop will need vacations soon!

I hope for the sake of amd that it's going to be a flop or severly delayed. People won't even need to switch motherboards which has always been the main selling point for me up until now.

I don't see that happening unfortunately. Ivy bridge if I recall has been delayed, however.
