*disclaimer, at this point its all speculation anyways. But you can keep your quad cores, thats sooooo 2007
The biggest thing to think about is if you are stuck with an 1155 socket, there are no plans for anything more than quad core.

Considering software dev is heading toward multi core, in a few years a quad core could be as obsolete as a dual core lga775. So the main reason to buy a 2011 socket is octocore cpu's which should remain viable much longer than any Ivy Bridge 1155.

Basically if you buy a motherboard you plan to keep more than a few years I'd say socket 2011 or BD is what you would want. Socket 1155 IB/SB is geared toward mainstream with its low power consumption and on die gpu. Sure you can run an unlocked SB at 5 ghz but I bet the K line is pulled as soon as 2011 is released as the warranty claims on these will be a losing game for Intel.
