Really, how long do you expect them to make a chip? It'd be one thing if IB & SB used different sockets, but they don't.
Also, they're discontinuing these in MARCH. Even if that meant immediate removal of products from all distributors (and it doesn't) you'd have 6 months to save up for a SB system.
