They list not only Socket 1366 and Socket 1156, but what on earth is Socket 1156? Socket 1156 with four extra pins seems unnecessary for a whole 'nother socket from Intel. Core i7 Lynnfields? Why is there a Socket 1160?

Just wondering.

LGA 1156 was originally LGA 1160 according to some of Intel's old roadmaps. The decision was made to pull four pins, transforming LGA 1160 into LGA 1156:

Compatibility with LGA 1160 at this point is largely meaningless since LGA 1160 products will likely never make it to market.
