not necessarily at least... is that how you listed the intel sockets? in that cause our numbers are not directly comparable...
Yes our approach is not comparable, since some people here think that when a new socket is released, the old one gets obsolent imidiantly...

By the looks right now it seems S775 could be the longest lived socked ever, for consumers.

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...
Duno what you mean by "socket mess", yes there definitly will be a new socket, but the only one we know right now is S2011. Which probably will be a replacement for S1366 or S1567, but thats still a year off, at least.

S1155/S1156 will mostly likely be something like AM2/AM2+, and even if they only have a lifetime of a year, its not like that didn't happened before.
