No newer platform is expected. It is widely anticipated that Intel will
continue to use the existing X79 chipset until Haswell-E and its platform

an X99 chipset in the works for IB-E are almost certainly in error.
Motherboard manufacturers may choose to refresh their lineups, but any
additional I/O ports would be by way of third party components as
opposed to
native functionality.
I don't believe there's any compelling reason to upgrade from SB-E to
IB-E.
If I do (running a 3930k at 4.5GHz now), it'll only be because I want to.
Oh really? So not much of a perf gain to be had?
