Computer technology is always moving along at a fast speed. Right now there are a few new items on the horizon that may change performance significantly. Bulldozer 6-8 core chips and the new Ivey Bridge socket 2011 pin, 6-8 core chips. In six months these should be out.

Ivy bridge is not 2011 socket. Ivy bridge is the same as sandy bridge but its 22nm. It will fit it the same 1155 socket.
