So, when you want to upgrade to a better CPU, you will need to change motherboard too? I mean from Lynnfield to Bloomfield.
But I'm wondering why do they have same size even though they have different sockets? Maybe Lynnfield will work on mobo with socket 1366? If this is possible, this CPU probably a big hit for mainstream users.

If you take a closer look, the sockets of the CPU are flat, not pointy like the 775 sockets.
