New architecture brings a bigger performance increase than a new process and drops less in value by the time you're ready to get rid of it when the next new uarch (tock) comes around. The only thing I'd wait for is a stepping revision beyond launch, one that works out any possible kinks and improves electrical performance.
Ahh thank you!

Damn, so they would delay it till post Haswell (or not even bother with it at all).

Makes sense as the advances from one to the next may not be as bigger gap as once thought.

Z77 here I come I spose.
