Intel has been shipping Core "i" CPUs for more than a year now, but the good old LGA 775 processors still account for 77 percent of sales. This tells a story of its own, as LGA 775 keeps going strong and it will continue to hold almost 50 percent at the end of the year. These are the results of Intel's predictions for Q1 2010 sales.

Socket LGA 1156, the new Lynnfield and Clarksfield socket, is responsible for 18 percent of all Intel shipments and its market share is supposed to grown to 44 percent in Q4 2010.

Third most popular socket is the Atom one, that makes up some 5 percent of all Intel CPUs in Q1 and by Q4 2010 it should grow to 7 percent.

The least popular socket is LGA 1366, the one that takes care of Nehalem generation of old Core i7 and soon to launch six-core Core i7. Its share won’t grow and this tells you that only one percent of all processors sold by Intel end up in the hands of enthusiasts who like super high end products.

the reason why we love the 775 socket is because it's cross compatible. one can buy a 775 socket board and use an old intel d processor if they can't get the newer multicore processors. when one could afford or want the newer processors, they were able to because it uses the same socket. this is of course limited to the bridge of the motherboard. but today, one can get a p35 board and get an intel d processor. then wait until quads are cheaper and get those. not only is the upgrade modest, it was also cheaper. it's like being economical.
