As stated above, Ivy Bridge was a Sandy Bridge refresh and we will see Broadwell in 2015 as Intel has already stated. Whether it's worth waiting or not is up to you, whether you want your computer now or if you can wait a little while until the new chips are out.

I don't really know why you're arguing, but okay.

And I don't know why you would care about it anyways if it wasn't a refresh. If they want to do a refresh this time around that's fine by me, maybe they feel that Broadwell isn't ready? We're just getting better chips anyways :)
 
I'm not going to argue about what constitutes a refresh but the reason for the soon to be released haswell cpus being different is because broadwell was delayed and they "need" to release something new. But technically any differences are minor; no die shrink, no architecture improvements, just improved clocks, tim, and packaging. I have not seen anyone calling it haswell v2 except just now with you. The models numbers have been released: i7-4790K, i7-4790, i5-4690K, i5-4690, etc. Anything about broadwell is too early to know for sure.
