No, there will be a replacement socket towards the end of next year called LGA 2011 to take the Sandy Bridge-E processors.
so why is the processor release on Jan the 9th
edit: these are for i5 replacement (1156) ? or will these work on i5 boards

Indeed, by the time LGA2011 comes out, 1366 will be quite old. It goes to show how successful it's been.

Especially as the 920 is still considered high end (and is!!)

The cpu's being launched in Jan are the replacement for the current i5 1156 sockets, the new cpu's will use a new socket 1155 which is not compatible with 1156 boards.
Socket 1366 replacement is due later in the year.
Hopefully I got that correct!

a) the original post in this thread has a row in the table called 'PCI express 2.0 lanes (2.5GT/s)'
b) http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/p55/p55-overview.htm scroll to near the bottom of features and benefits, once again, 2.5GT/s.
Doesn't say the same for x58, so i guess you guys are safe

Think I'll stick with my 920 d0. Can't see the point in upgrading really.

It's probably a typo. Why would they be using PCI-E 1.1 for LGA1155 after years of using 2.0?

I don't understand the purpose of the Z68 - what sort of user would need both IGP and multi-GPU support on the same board?

Not sure, what is the advanced SSD caching as that seems to be the only other differentiator?

I don't know too much about sandy bridge. I've heard that Intel are limiting the overclocking ability on their chips. If so then I'm gonna start to think they will lost their foothold within the overclocking industry/casual hobbyist.
MMMMM interesting
MMMMM interesting
Same here, I brought my 920 since it first came out and I haven’t even bothered to overclocked it yet as its running everything i want it to. Intel releasing all these replacement socket types...for what?!?! Just to show how good they look on benchmarks but yet to the human eye performance is minimal.
All these extra features such as EFI could easily be integrated into current or previous chipsets without changing socket types.
