I was referring to the integrated graphics part of your post: All current iMacs already come with Intel's integrated graphics since that's part of the chip, which won't change with Haswell.

Only the higher-end models come with a dedicated graphics chip from Nvidia (or AMD/ATI in the past). Lower-end Macs all come with Intel integrated graphics which is part of the Core i5/i7 chip.
i was thinking like you but bought the 27" iMac 2 weks back, no regrets
the haswell update would be so minor that i just toke the plunge, more then the haswell update just pray ur lucky to get the faster hdd in ur 27" iMac, there is a thread regarding that over here. its also mentioned in the official imac review on this site where a lower spec 27" imac beat the faster processor one just cause of a diff hdd brand..
well if u need a mac now, just buy one or keep waitig for the 2020 upgrade
I think you're right ... :-(
Whilst Apple launches the interesting 5s and the stupid 5c, you'll have to update until October to update your Mac.
Great for those who want a computer for college.

It doesn't make much sense launching after that, specially if they already updated the MBA.
If they don't... don't care, just need my rMBP next year.
I know that you're joking, but
Since current processors already have 128-bit and 256-bit instructions and datapaths, I'll assume that you're 'waiting' for 128-bit virtual addresses.
Did you know that a system that filled the 64-bit address space with energy-efficient DDR3 RAM would need about 32 billion watts of power just for the memory? That's about 143 million amps at 240 volts, or the peak usage for the entire state of California on a typical summer day.
I think that 64-bit addressing won't be a hindrance for a long, long time.
I can wait for a 128 bit's
excellent keep waiting

New Imac release expected?
I am new here, so if this post is in the wrong section I apologize for that. My question is this:
Is there a new Imac release expected anytime soon? If the new model going the be significantly better in performance? (i don't care about the design personally)
The buyersguide says you should NOT buy an Imac now, but it doesn't say when the new Imac is to be expected or how the new haswell thing (i guess they mean a processor) is going to change the performance.

yes, i'm sure that apple is going to make Mavericks "haswell only" especially considering the only haswell macs are the new macbook airs. They will obviously abandon all other computers that they make until they are updated.
Not to mention the beta which is working on ivy, sandy, and many other processors. I guess by release they will just go haswell only so that the 5% of mac users with a haswell air can enjoy the new OS!!
