If it is for the "budget" chips, no thanks, that's even worse. Budget chip on its own socket = never upgrade to the better chips without a board change - again.
Well I think AMD will do the same later on with G34 socket.

Basicly LGA1366 is for 920/940/965, servers and workstations. Highend enthutiast stuff so to say. People that want tripple SLi/trifire etc.

LGA1156 is for everything else. Ondie PCIe, no northbridge chip. 2x8 or 1x16 PCIe lanes for SLI/crossifre or single card. Dualchannel memory etc. Quadcore/dualcore with HT on. The boards will be very cheap with the southbridge only (Basicly like ICH series). And you can still get something with i7 940 performance.
