Okay so we all probably read the news with intel ready to discontinue their motherboards with plans to sell MBs with the CPUs soldered on somewhere in 2015. Does this mean that we wont be able to buy say an MSI board and an intel CPU to plop into the socket anymore? I only built a handful of rigs in my 19 years of life but my choice was always intel because i liked that clock for clock it was a faster processor when comparing to AMD.
However, now if Intel stops selling CPUs separately for us people that like to build PCs I'm going to have to go jump to the red team which i don't have a problem with. I'm not a fanboy, maybe just a little but it will be the only way for me to have the freedom of mixing and matching MBs and CPUs.
Anyone able to clarify on this?
