Intel's 2011 CPUs may require new motherboards

Not what most of you wanted to hear I know, but according to the article the next gen chips coming from Intel next year may indeed require a new motherboard

Bit-tech reports: Anonymous sources told the site that Intel's spiffy new CPU / GPU / memory controller integrations will use two new sockets, LGA-1155 and LGA-2011; if true, you'll need to buy a new motherboard to match.

A new socket coming this quickly?? Damn that's harsh

And I thought those of us on Socket 1366 were screwed with the plethora of Quad cores that out performed the original i7's in most day to day tasks, on Socket 1156.

looks like Intel may be following in the Footsteps of AMD with socket Designs, at least they made theirs semi backwards compatible to some extent.
