Intel is not going to do anything interesting on the desktop side for sometime. Extra processing power isn't really needed and they aren't facing particularly strong competition. They are far more focused on energy efficiency

Personally, I am sticking with my i5-3570k and fitting a new cooler and overclocking if I have any need of more processing power in any games

But Haswell certainly won't provide any real benefits to gamers
