Dumb question I know but I haven't kept up on hardware in a long time.
Does anyone know what the current Flagship Intel socket type is? I might be looking to start collecting parts for a new PC in the next month or so and was wondering what socket type to go with for an I7 build. I would prefer something that i can expect to be a safe bet for at least the next couple years.
1155 seams to have the most support
1156
1366 is the highest number which would seem to imply it was the latest but it seems to have less support (in terms of available boards) than 1155 and i thought i read somewhere that it wasn't going to be sticking around to long.
It was so easy when it was just 775. lol
