Mysterious LGA socket

[sholvaco]

Can't possibly be LGA 1567 since pins run the entire surface of that socket while the OP photo shows a hollow center area like with current ones, not to mention "Beckton" boards use a different mounting mechanism:



My guess: s1366 succesor for high end desktop, single and dual socket server/workstation Sandy Bridge platform.

I think, it these pics are real, LGA 1156 could support LGA 1155 processors( i mean 1 pin less, the socket will have 1 pin free)...hope that socket 1156 to last until Ivy bridge. And socket 1155 will not support LGA 1156 processors.
Socket 1366 might be replace.
Anyway for now a 8 core processor( 20MB cache) has in my opinion no use because programs are not optimezed for something like these...
