Why do you say that? LGA1366 may be the performance socket but surely Intel must recognize that LGA1366 wouldn't be as popular if they had launched with a $500 chip. Right now there isn't an $800 bracket, there is the $250 to $350 range which is acceptable for budget stuff, and then the next bin around $400-$500. Anything past that is a halo product and of such small volume versus the bread and butter that it doesn't count. Gulftown may be a massive upgrade compared to Bloomfield but if they market a 1P chip surely they'll have a chip in the $250 to $350 bracket at launch.
