Wow the cheapest one looks like a great deal. What do you guys think will be the price range on P55 boards?
All I am wondering is why are they bringing out a new socket type? Are they planning on supporting both sockets with new CPUs? Sounds like a lot of work to me... I think for simplicity sake they should have just stuck with one socket type and a few different types of CPUs like LGA775 had Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, and Pentium Dual Core.
I still think it's a really dumb move.
Only thing I can think of is that they are going to use 1366 as a Server/ desktop platform. Usually theres two sockets anyways one for server use and another for desktop use. Future Xeon's will be 1366 and hopefully their Octo core will be.
