Ok, it's everyone's favourite time of year. The rum-nog is all dried up and the driveway finally got shoveled. CES is in the air, so this is being the thread dedicated to the wonderfully nerdtastic event. First up: Apparently this is a very quickly moving MSI 990FX chipset for the new Bulldozery AM3+ chips. Unfortunately no more info yet...

And Asus has a bunch of new things that start with the letter "E", have an "E" in the middle and end with an "E".

Not only a new socket, but 2 new sockets! And I think 6 different chipsets. |

Do I need to mention that S754, S940, S939, AM2, Socket F, AM2+ and AM3 all came out while LGA775 was around... |

im just saying that coming out with several sockets at once is a little on the retarded side. |

Ya, I agree but AMD did it with S754 and S940 for their low and high-end chips at the time. I would think it would be cheaper for the companies to just produce one socket that can accommodate both their chips, even if it means the low end ones have missing or unused contacts on them, but then again I'm not an engineer or someone in marketing. |

granted with the older amd sockets etc but that was years ago. Intel is still doing it. Its stupid for them to release three new sockets. How is one supposed to upgrade - why make it that hard for the consumer. its a dumbass move. |

I do this only to show that any list of things can be made to prove whatever point, even though most of those sockets have different purposes (ie: server, laptop) |

Another thing to consider is how much of the market there is for people who want to upgrade just their CPU. We're enthusiasts here, and I'm sure for every one of us there are 10 people/business that buy a computer, use it until it stops working or is too slow, and then repeats this process. To them it doesn't matter what socket it's using. |
