Why are you complaining again ? Intel just wants their money back for R&D/marketing/execs bonuses
1366 was R+D'd. 1156 didnt take so much. 1155 I suspect even less. What R+D costs are they re-couping? 1366 alone has paid for all of Nehalem + derivatives.

Making money.... fine.

Giving us new things... fine.

Forcing upgrades for no reason..... not fine.

I would like to see someone design an intercoupling PCB to let 1155 chips work on 1156 boards. Might render some HSF useless but seeing as im sure this socket will bring a new set of mounting holes,* theres no big deal there either.



* go on... explain to me why 775, 1366 and 1156 need different mounting hole spacing. Intel arent even profiting from 3rd-party HSF sales.


OR ARE THEY?
