Yeah, actually now that I think of it, it's no big deal at all. It does have a good possibility of being a longer supported socket but personally I don't see the appeal of keeping motherboards forever as the chipsets can be significant.
It seems I spoke too soon, anyway. This new tri-gate transistor 22nm technology seems to hold a lot of promise, almost like intel is skipping a full node. That combined with die stacking technology, Haswell is going to be a beast.
EDIT AMD better start focusing more of it's attention on discrete GPUs because it looks to be fighting a losing battle vs Intel. I don't see how it can possibly remain competitive. I hope for everyone they do, but it does looks bleak.
