i hope they split BD across 2 sockets, current and quad channel, let us decide if we want a 300$ cpu put into a 2 year old motherboard, or buy a new mobo and cpu at the same time for that extra perf
They need to focus on frequency and compatibility before they focus on more channels.

Doing 2100-2200 Mhz on am AMD system in the future would be like heaven for us...we are limited to ~1800-1880
