Leaked Slide Shows Intel Haswell Set for March-June 2013
Intel's tick-tock approach looks to be in full swing with Ivy Bridge in 2012 and Haswell planned for 2013.
Intel is set to launch its new Ivy Bridge processor in April 2012 and will make the move to 22 nm on LGA 1155. It will feature faster integrated graphics controller, lower TDP, higher clock speeds and overclocking ceiling with the 22 nm process. Right around the corner, Intel is set to release its "tock" strategy with the Ivy Bridge successor, codename Haswell.
A road-map slide leaked by DonanimHaber shows Haswell is set to release in around the March to June 2013 time-frame. Haswell is based on Intel's new CPU architecture that replaces the unreleased Ivy Bridge. Haswell looks to be based on the new LGA 1150 socket, which will not be compatible with either the LGA 1155 or LGA 2011 sockets. It will be based on the tri-gate 22 nm manufacturing process, similar to Ivy Bridge. Haswell is expected to have Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2), DX11.1, OpenGL 3.2, Thunderbolt, Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) and Windows 8 support.

every new intel CPU uses different socket - how the hell is that going to help anyone?
Just bought an 1155 or LGA 2011 socket cpu, feel ripped off, welcome to the world of Intel.
They may have faster chips than AMD, but with AMD, you do have a chance of an upgrade path for a few years, excluding the FM1.
The fact that sockets are being replaced faster than ever is pretty damn annoying, but this seems to be the cost of progress. I'm not saying that Intel couldn't still be using S775 and still boosting performance, but I'd be willing to bet that performance attained by new sockets would be double if not more than if they were to still be using S775. Future proofing has always been an unreal concept in terms of technology, there's always something better around the corner.
Besides, Intel is increasing performance pretty rapidly right now, I'm on an i7 860 and in a year or so I'll switch to an i5 2500k...It won't be outdated for a while for my use (Games).
Intel cram more stuff into their chips which require a different number of pins every time. Hence new sockets. Just the way it is.
Besides, it's not like the performance increase between each generation is significant enough to warrant an upgrade EVERY time, is it - Nehalem/Gulftown to Sandy Bridge was a good jump, but Sandy to Ivy? Sandy/Ivy to Haswell?
Think about it logically before the "oh, Intel just rip us off" complaints - who knows, maybe if AMD drew a line and cut off ageing sockets sooner they'd get some decent CPUs coming out...
