When is the next 'tock' coming?

Im still rocking a Q6600 @ 3ghz that is mostly suitable for my needs however I have recently gotten heavily into encoding. A new i9 would do wonders for that but since Intel loves its new release schedule I was wondering what we know about the new architecture. Is it still Nehelam based or are we looking at something totally new coming in ~6 months?
 
The previous i9 six-core nehalem, is actually now the i7 980. Sandy bridge, the next arch., is delayed until next year. i7 980 comes out in march iirc.
 
not to thread jack but
tick - is the die shrink of existing architecture and tock - is new architecture on existing process right?

Yes.

Intel is doing a tick this year and a tock next year.
