Well said, in with the new and out with the old! I wonder if all sandybridge chips will use the same socket? This is a dual core, I would suspect (wild-assed-guess) that the hexa's and quads will use a different socket (and 22nm octo's may use a diff socket too.) I wouldn't be suprised if sandybridge has 2 sockets for their entry level chips and enthusiast/workstation chips much like 1156 and 1136 now.
大脯!
