What does the future hold for LGA Socket 1150?

[AjAlien]

The title says it all. Does anyone have any idea of what the future may hold with LGA Socket 1150 motherboards?

Will Intel be releasing CPU's that will be backwards compatible with current Haswell CPU sockets?

 

Thanks!

Nobody knows at this point.

It is rumored that Intel may completely drop the socketed CPUs after a few generations. From 2016 on, there is a high chance that all new CPUs will come soldered onto the motherboard.

My guess is there will be something like Ivy was to Sandy, no real major improvement and then a new socket

Nobody know but i think that next gen. will be on 1150.

I imagine they will have broadwell on it then go to a new socket for skylake.

Thats gonna suck

Though you could argue Haswell was more of a "tick" than a tock.

Like I don't even know they will probably make another chipset and then abandon it that's because there is no difference between 1155 and 1150 just the cpus

i think 1155 is dead now.. itll be 1150 for a while then something else

How would that work for the enthusiast market? I mean, we like to pick our own mobos and CPU's.

As I said it's not definitive yet but possible and as for the enthusiast market. Intel doesn't care too much since most of their profits now come from ultra books but also tablets, not the few enthusiasts.

1150 will carry over to the new series of CPUs, it's not clear yet whether they'll be based on a Haswell refresh or based on Broadwell.

I think that Intel will continue to differentiate the mainstream platform from the enthusiast for example LGA 1150 and LGA 2011, however nobody knows what the future holds so only time will show.

Or you just buy the board you like that comes with the CPU you like. If there were a Z87-G46 with a 4670 and one with the 4770 k's... you think it would really limit our choice much more?

I don't and I'm not planing to use LGA 1150 or whatever the mainstream platform would be called by that time so I couldn't care less. What I want is for Intel to leave an open platform for the enthusiasts who want to be able to pick exactly the cpu which they want.

Maybe Intel will start making desktop CPUs that are embedded into motherboards.

With more and more functionality being moved onto the CPU anyway, I don't think this will be much of a problem. As a recent video showed, there's practically no difference in terms of performance between the cheapest and most expensive motherboards.
