Very interesting findings. Seems to confirm what a lot of people thought. New motherboards were just to force more sales.

One more reason to go with AMD next time...

I have no problem with innovation and necessary changes as a result. I do have a problem with greed.

If changes between CPU generations necessitate a socket change then by all means change socket every generation.

If retaining support on older boards significantly hampers newer CPUs then I'm happy to get a new board to fully utilise my shiny CPU.

If changes between CPU generations are made purely to force incompatibility then you can go do one.

Well said.
