I guess it is all speculation because AMD isn't pushing Intel to release it on their regular time schedule. I believe if Intel hadn't already spent money on it and hadn't already promised it, they would scrap IB-E altogether. Here is something recent saying it had been pushed back to Q4 2013. Might be worth it for the OP to find deals on SB-E instead.
