Intel to abandon LGA 1155 Platform in Early 2013

[Pri]

Some new leaked slides show that Intel is intending to introduce yet another new socket within the first 3 months of 2013. The new socket is 1150 and will take the new Haswell architecture of Core processors (i3, i5, i7) which replace the Ivy Bridge series.

For those unaware Intel operates on a "Tick Tock" approach. Where by they introduce a new architecture (Nehalem, Sandy Bridge, Haswell) and then the following year they take that same architecture, tweak it slightly, reduce its physical size then ship that as a lower-power drawing less expensive to manufacture part (Penryn, Westmere, Ivy Bridge, Broadwell).

So what this means is socket 1155 the current socket will only see Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge. It will not see an upgrade to the 2013 Haswell architecture which will increase performance (which is what Ivy Bridge did not do as it was only a Die Shrink)

Here is the leaked slide:

Scum bags, they just do it so people have to buy new motherboards, which means more $$$ for them.

Money is important ya know, they do it to earn money, not to please the customer.

I for one think its cool to see more new tech to hit the market.
