Been wondering about this issue. What/where does the future lie for 2011 and 1150 sockets?

If I were to build a durable and high end workstation that takes the future into account, and wish to see CPU upgrades, what should I do?

For now, get a 4770k? or what?

Your personal thoughts on the matter are most welcome on this thread. I'd like to hear some opinions how long these sockets are gonna last, etc etc etc.

Thanks!!

except that the 775 didn't last that long. the early 775 couldn't accomodate the Core 2 processors when they came out, they'd fit but not work. So 775 can be viewed as at least 2 sockets. pre and post Core micro arch.

If you want lots of power, for future proofing, then go 2011 agreed.

I think when DDR4 system modules arrive officially on the motherboard scene we will see major changes with the socket situation as well!

That's what I'd recommend as DDR4 is a ways off from being bug free, as we will become the test Guinna pigs for DDR4s total success and performance climb the same as DDR3.

Even the 2011 socket with be rewired to accommodate DDR4 modules or changed altogether?

It will depend on what's the best route to take for M/B manufacturers which usually always means a new motherboard anyway.

So the 4770K will future set you for quite a while with no worries. IMO

Thanks man.

Quick follow up.
Should I be considering AMD CPUs for workstation and future proof purposes?

I was an AMD die hard but but got sick of constant high power performance claims from AMD, with only a percentage of the boasts being delivered on the consumer end, continuing with one disappointment behind the other.

So I jumped off the AMD ship about 4 years ago with zero regrets, with Intels raw performance and it's overclocking capabilities of the K series of CPUs, Intel delivers! No Regrets!

Not to offend any of those still hanging with AMD, because it's totally my decision, but there are no AMD purchases happening at this home, that's all I have to say regarding AMD.

I do still have an AMD 965 Black Edition CPU still chugging along with no problems so I commend AMD on it's lasting longevity as the CPU has been previously overclocked to 4.3ghz and still works just fine today.

So I am not saying AMD doesn't make a dependable CPU for the money, just that I no longer look to AMD to solve my needs.

I'm sure many remember that sockets like the 775 lasted for much more than 2years. Now my 1155 is already replaced by the 1150. Also how fleeting were the 1156 and 1366 sockets? It's crazy fast turnaround making it more challenging to pick a board you feel you can stick with. Ryan has some great points with regard to DDR4 being a while before all the bugs get worked out. I have a feeling 1150 will phase out just as fast as we've seen. I'm not so sure about 2011. If I were in the market right now I'd probably push for the 2011 but I may be wrong.

Thanks guys. 2011 it is then.

Remind me again? There are some mITX MBs out there that support 2011 sockets right?
Is the ASRock z87E ITX support it?? I think it just supports 1150 socket right?

Thanks.

The bad news is that we're expecting to see AMD's Socket AM3+ platform slowly fade from prominence.

We also talked to industry insiders at CES 2014 with their hands on Haswell-E, expected later this year. The top-end SKU will be an eight-core part with Hyper-Threading technology, DDR4 memory support, and a new processor interface that isn't compatible with the existing LGA 2011 ecosystem. Rumor also has it that the Haswell refresh, originally planned for later this year, is being delayed. At the same time, SATA Express compatibility is being taken off of the spec sheet, similar to the way Intel toned down its position on PCI Express 3.0 when it introduced X79.

Finally, we learned that Intel is discontinuing a number of previous-generation processors, mostly low-end Sandy Bridge-based Celerons and Pentiums. The only model we'll miss is the Core i5-3350P, which is one of our favorite budget gaming CPUs. Once it disappears, we'll likely recommend a slightly more expensive Haswell-based Core i5 under $200."
