Although the upcoming Intel Ivy Bridge-E is yet to be released this coming September 2013, its successor, the upcoming Intel Haswell-E HEDT “Lituya Bay” has already been leaked and is rumored to be released some time in the middle of 2014.
The Haswell-E is based on 22nm architecture and is compatible with socket LGA 2011 boards. But it is rumored that there will be a new X99 “Wellsburg-X” chipset that would be released for the Haswell-E that would support the next generation DDR4 memory natively.
