Are socket 1156 alredy old socket, when we know about socket 1166 and next Intel CPU i9 1166 with six core?

The six-core Intel CPU is called i7-980X, it's already been released. There is no Core i9.

From what I'm reading on Sandy Bridge, it looks like both 1156 and 1366 are going to become obsolete in short order. We'll see, as theres a lot of roumers going around now.

Like I always, say, never believe the rumour until it's a press release.

^^ I wouldn't be shocked though; I expected LGA1156 to be cut off farily quickly, im just surprised that LGA1366 might also be going away. Its worth watching at this point, thats for sure.

Who knows?

Still a rumour.
