Socket 2011 to use the same mounting holes as lga1366

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.

S1567 is the MP socket and they have always had a longer livetime, due to the slower product cycle there.

Im not sure about S1155, since as you mentioned clarkdale was planed to use it, but also can be used with S1156.
We'll see what happens with S1155 next year, but i remember that i read something back in Q1 2009 that S1155 was just for development and the unified everything on S1156.

will most likely be... so you didnt see an intel longterm roadmap

and yes, i thought this was the snb socket?
westmere is 1156/1366/15xx with vrm11.1 first and then vrm12 version so of the same sockets, like the 775 11.0 and 11.1 split, but worse, cause new and old wont work together, whether its board and cpu or cpu and board...

That makes no sense? Sure VRM 12 cpus wont work in VRM11 mobos, but VRM11 cpus will work in VMR12 mobos. It was always that way that VRM specs where backward compatible.
