Intel backpedaling already:

Let's face it, we PC enthusiasts are in the minority here, and the 90% of PC buyers don't really care about what they buy, other than it should say 'Intel' on a sticker somewhere.

They're just saying there will always be a socket and nothing promised about saving 1155 (remember 775 and 771 [server only]?), which is used for pretty much every gamer and general user. 2011 will always be workstation and extreme high-end enthusiasts; lower product cycles so it'll be slower at phasing changes in and out.

AMD is on life support. If you're counting on them to be your saving grace then you're betting on the wrong horse.
