According to Anandtech, the Core i7 will also be available in s1156? Can anyone confirm this or is it BS?

Quote :

Only the Core i7 is allowed to run in a LGA-1366 socket, however there will be LGA-1156 i7, i5 and i3CPUs

Personally coming from Anandtech I'll believe it. The differences in I3, I5, and I7 are clear, so it makes logical sense to allow them all on the same socket. Of course the absolute top models of I7 will probably be LGA-1366 only.
