Remember something Drwho? You can be the best hooker in town but if you consistently charge too much, all of that great sexual experience will only please fewer and fewer customers.

WTF?!?

lga1366 has and will always be a performance/server platform. i'm willing to bet that next year there will only be 6+ core cpu's available for 1366. lga1156 is the mainstream platform, and they will be offering us quads, duels, imbeded graphics, hyperthreading.... intel has been nothing but up front about this. people seem to be upset about the difference in performance between 1366 and 1156 cpu's, but this is a comparison that can't really be accurately demonstrated (because there are no 1156 cpu's to test for one). but the fact is that 1366 was created for people that actually need 8 threads and tripple chanel memory. i can't think of an application (outside the server realm) that can really use all of the i7's power. when we do see production 1156 parts, i don't think there will be much of a difference 1160 and 1366 performance concerning desktop applications. now if someone has the forsight to test them using some server apps.......
