    also you missing Super Socket 7 and Slot A on amd cosnumer site preaty shortlived once.

    the lifetime of a socket is not over when a new socket is introduced...
    not necessarily at least... is that how you listed the intel sockets? in that cause our numbers are not directly comparable...

    switching sockets is not evil, its just annoying for customers... 775 was really nice, even with the vrm split in the middle... anybody who saw intels 2012 roadmap and tells me there isnt a socket mess please explain why... :P

    iirc 1156 has been just launched and will be eol within a year
    and the new socket following that will be eol within a year too...

    intel probably thinks why make a socket last long, itll make it slightly bigger and each board costs 2 cents more to make, for a feature they will most likely never use cause by the time its used, people buy a new board anyways... but why dont they just make the socket 2cents more expensive then? its not like end users would even notice it... and for end users a perceived long lifetime for their socket is worth a lot and makes them happy customers... i think its one of those things that is def worth the little extra investment/cost, but because of how beaurocratic companies calculate and arrange and plan their products cost and margin, it looks like a bad idea even though its not...
