[NEW STUFF] Intel LGA1155

[Mechromancer]

Intel is evil for changing their socket infrastructure AGAIN! Their CPUs only last one generation per socket. This is not helping the PC's cause. Gamers are going to consoles because of these type of expensive upgrades. Intel NEEDS to pick a single, robust socket infrastructure for their desktop PCs and stick with it through two or more CPU generations. AMD has done it with AM2(+) and AM3 and it has been very successful. QPI is like a better version of Hyper Transport so we all know Intel is fully capable of doing this with their existing sockets.

Then gamers can go to AMD right? I mean they don't have to switch to console. For gaming, even last gen processors are enough, and as many have argued when it comes to expensive Intel cpus, the graphics card is more important for gaming.

I totally agree with that, especially now that mainboards are just a bunch of connectors with no place for innovation or performance improvement.
