moral hazard Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Future Intel CPUs are expected to be soldered directly into motherboards, and not sold as separate components for people who, like us, enjoy assembling our own PCs.Rumour: Intel to stop manufacturing LGA CPUs, killing off enthusiast PCs · games.on.nethttp://semiaccurate.com/2012/11/26/intel-kills-off-the-desktop-pcs-go-with-it/Could this be true?Hope not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levanworth Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well, let's see how AMD takes this....If AMD could profit from holes in Intel's future masterplan, perhaps Sunnydale could stop firing their employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unreal25 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Time to get a BGA soldering station... no wait, I stick with AMD. Then you might as well just buy previous-gen or previous-previous-gen Intel. Same performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted November 28, 2012 Founder Share Posted November 28, 2012 I don't buy it, read the comments on that site and it seems it was an improper translation of the source. Intel would have no reason to do this. It's just like the conjecture before that Intel was going to kill overclocking with Sandy bridge which was later proven false.Sent from my GT-N7000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberclocka Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I really am hoping that this is not true - sort of like an Apple policy of you will do what we want you to because we dominate the market. If AMD could rewind the market several years to the early Athlon years and consistenly provide performance competition to Intel then I don't think they would consider doing this. Anyone else remember those awful PC Chips motherboards with the soldered CPUs....yuck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the exact opposite with that move. They created like another 1,000.000 over clockers who didn't need ln2/he/dice/cascade or phase change to compete. Then turned right around and lost that same 1,000,000 new over clockers when ivy bridge came out. Due to heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
