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



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.


I don't think so, Sandy bridge is gonna have a new socket 1155. Initially Clarkdale was suppose to come with a 1155 socket but instead of that they will still use 1156 aka H55.

If there was no need for a new 1155 intel would have used the 1156 for sandy bridge also. This would mean 1155/1156 is more like 754/939, when ever 1567 comes it will live a longer life than the 1156 simple because server sockets live longer "eg 1366" 2011 may take longer to come or maybe it is made for a secific range of cpu's.
