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.
Normally, there's more than 2 sockets, then one comes out ahead. 478 and 775, 754 and 939, the like. I don't understand why they would make consumer level (even though it is very high end) 1366 setups, then turn around and start turning all future 1366 setups into servers? Wouldn't make a lot of sense. It just sounds like to me they are making a low end and a high end, and separating them with the gap of a different socket.
