I am hoping socket 2011 releases sometime this year by at least q2 2011 because there are rumors saying Intel is going to release it from q2 to q4 of this year to q2 of next year. I cant wait that long lol. I am hoping to at least se some more six core models by q2 of 2011 since Intel road map has no information about future CPUS this year. Quad core are getting old for me
