LGA775 EOL?

[Borealis7]

Intel's next-gen platform "Nehalem" will be a whole new socket, bigger size chip and will require 5-series chipset motherboards (corrent me if im wrong here).
so would Intel stop making LGA775 chips? are the Q9xxx quad-cores and the E8xxx duals the last chips we will have for this socket?

I'm asking this because I bought a P35 motherboard six months ago and I'm considering my upgrade path. If I dont plan on switching to Nehalem, then basically the highest I can go is a Q9xxx chip (excluding the QX cpus) right?

Roadmap for 4th quarter 2008

I haven't heard anything Post-Nehalem regarding LGA775, maybe Xeons.

the nehalem 1366 series is more of a xeon DP replacement.

the 11xx pin nehalem is not going to be out until 2H 2009 which is the mainstream replacement. so it will be a while. LGA775 has been obsolete many times anyway. outside of being the same pinout and heatsink, the boards have changed so much.

i mean a single core i915 board, could not support dual core pentium D , so you had to get i945 which was 800 bus initially, and then to get to core 2 you had to buy another board again. and to go to 1333 bus core 2 you had to upgrade yet again to 3 series.
