Title: How long will the LGA1366 last?
Post by: sabrefresco on August 23, 2010, 11:20:41 pm: How long until the socket is replaced with a new one? Approximation is what I need, an exact answer isnt necessary

Sandybridge is not compatible with any of the existing sockets and is going to be more a one completely autonymous chip. The controllers will all be on it.

Post by: hornet_CZ on October 05, 2010, 03:39:28 pm: I wonder if there are any more 386 users in here...
The oldest machine I've met is a Pentium 3 866mhz...
And I bet LGA1366 will last at least 4 years from it was introduced...

Post by: Dark Mantis on October 07, 2010, 11:29:23 am: I really don't know, I haven't heard anything either way. I would think though that it makes sense to keep the same mountings as for the 1156 chip.
