    - New socket (LGA 1155) 
    - Will come in dual core and quad core varieties, with some models having hyperthreading 
    - More energy efficient than Nehalem 
    - Stronger instruction set 
    - Coming in 2011 (possibly late 2010)
    - Pricing comparable to current processors

    Awesome, more socket types means more confusion for the marketplace. Just what we need now.

    So does 1155 surpass 1366 now? When I read 1155, I would think it would be a newer line of lower end CPUs
