Team Blue can't seem to settle on much of anything or stick with anything for long. This attribute follows them across ALL product lines and markets.

"Design with Intel" means an almost ENTIRE REDESIGN of YOUR OEM product almost every time Intel releases the next product in a series.

While I'd question how many end customers/users ACTUALLY "upgrade" on EVERY product release or even < 3-5yrs the almost unending changes adds additional costs as well as might encourage users to simply WAIT more cycles where a CPU+motherboard+RAM upgrade might offer them a higher performance boost. (given Intel's typical "up to <%20 improvements")

Intel refused to answer questions at the launch about how long socket 1851 would last. The rumors are already strong, Nova Lake will be on a new socket and this will be a disgraceful 1 generation socket, making it an appalling upgrade path.

I wonder how long this socket will be used for this time, 2 gens?
