Sandy Bridge only on one socket?

[edplayer]

I've read about S2011 for a while now but never heard of something like this:


"One big question is whether LGA1155 will exist only for Sandy Bridge. There have been rumors of moving the new Xeon socket LGA2011, with its quad-channel memory, to consumers later this year, but we understand that Intel is now considering going back to a single-socket lineup. LGA1366 will be supported with updates this year, but after that, LGA1155 could be the only game in town"

Has anyone heard anything similar anywhere else?

Thats news to me.

I do not see how they can do that to be honest. LGA1155 has too many limitations for high end users.

Good to hear that s1366 will get some Xeon Sandy Bridge updates though (at least I though it would and think that is what they mean...).

I think they mean more 6 core Westmeres will be released for 1366. I do not think they were referring to SB.
