Reply to comment by SparkStormrider in Intel Posts Largest Loss in Years as PC and Server Nosedives by Stiven_Crysis

I loved when they simply removed a single pin - 1156 to 1155 - just to fuck over backwards compatibility, while still being able to use the same tooling for the processors and saving themselves money...while ensuring the consumer has to upgrade more than just his CPU.

Yeah, fucking greed at its finest. This isn't something new with Intel either. They tried to do do away with the socket years ago saying sockets have gone as far as the technology would allow, and introduced Slot 1. Luckily that bullshit died real fast.
