While we can't vouch for the authenticity of leaked Intel roadmap, it doesn't seem too far fetched and besides, it is always fun to speculate. Here's the slide you'll be interested in.

Sandybridge-E is LGA 2011. I'm skeptical about ivy bridge being LGA1155 due to the likelihood of hexcore's bottlenecking on the ram bus.
So that means - based on that roadmap - that the i7-2600k is it? Nice job, Intel, release a socket for a new generation of CPUs that a grand total of 5 models supports before moving on to something else...
You were expecting something different?

I think the AM3+ socket will be just as short lived.....in 2012 we will see Komodo and Trinity which are bulldozer based fusion apu's. I doubt very much these APU's will use the same AM3+ socket as the Bulldozer CPU.
Short lived? AMD's been fully forward & backwards compatable with there socket's for almost 5 years now, while Intel went 775 (90nm, 65nm, 45nm so most cases to upgrade cpu ment new board still) , 1366, 1156, 1155, and soon 2011. It won't hurt so bad if they continue to produce new CPU's, but this new socket every 6 months instead of every 2-3 years is getting rather annoying on the pocket book.
AMD has been fully forward and backwards compatible because their processors have been fucking terrible?

I am just waiting for an Octocore (8 core) chip. When that is released, then I will upgrade to whatever chip maker has the better performance...

However, to be honest, I really want a dual 2600K motherboard.

I've been upgrading my CPU every year since the Athlon 64 came out. This is the first year there isn't anything to replace my current CPU (Core i7 920 OC to 4.2GHz). I'm kind of annoyed. I've saved my tax refund for a CPU/MB/Memory upgrade again this year, but there's nothing coming out that would be a significant upgrade until 4Q, if then. This means waiting until my next tax return.
It sucks. so little advancement this year. I want new stuff, but I have no justification to get it over what I already have.
A friend of mine got a dual socket AMD board from someone as payment (another with the CPUs) several years ago. It was a Socket L1 Alienware OEM board with two dual core FX CPUs in it. That's as close to enthusiast non-server that I have seen lately. But is it really need at this time?Not going to happen. There haven't been dual motherboards for mainstream (Pentium/Core/Athlon/Phenom) CPUs for at least a decade. Any dual-CPU board offered by Intel will take Xeons, and any dual-CPU board offered by AMD will take Opterons.

Ivy Bridge quad cores will launch on 1155, and supposedly should be compatible with current P67 boards. Ivy Bridge is a die shrink, it's not a hex core.
You have to look at Llano's new socket to understand his statement. FM1 is Llano's new socket and next year mainstream Fusion processors are moving from K10 CPU cores to "2nd generation bulldozer cores." Those are unlikely to use AM3+. AMD may keep AM3+ for a high end desktop platform.Short lived? AMD's been fully forward & backwards compatable with there socket's for almost 5 years now,
You are right. I was just saying that it is the closest to a dual socket gaming system that I have seen in a long time.You're talking about "Quad FX": http://www.anandtech.com/show/2125
While you're correct, the "Athlon 64 FX" chips used in this are on LGA 1207. They are essentially just Opteron CPUs with the memory controller changed to allow the use of non-ECC DDR2. It's a completely different CPU from the mainstream "Athlon FX" chips for Socket 939 and Socket AM2, and not compatible at all.
