The company has denied the predictions that after the release of the new chip, it will curtail production Haswell "removable" processors for socket LGA
We have become accustomed to the fact that architecture for mobile solutions using BGA - type of housing for integrated circuits, which is firmly soldered to the motherboard. In light of the fact that the market for mobile devices is expanding, and the market for the good old desktop, conversely, shrinks, there were suggestions that Intel will soon stop production of "large" processors for socket LGA.
However, the company issued a denial. According to representatives of Intel, BGA-solutions will not find a place in the market of computer components (DIY). In fact still many fans gather computer with your hands, so LGA-processors are still in demand.
A little earlier with the same denial made AMD - the company is also not going to throw DIY-market.
Going back to Intel: PC Magazine in an interview with a company representative said:
Intel in the foreseeable future will continue to provide maintenance items in LGA packages to their customers and enthusiasts DIY-market
However, we can not now comment on our long-term plans - new details, we will reveal later
The company confirmed that BGA is not supersede LGA in the mass market and the market for Hi-End solutions.
On the one hand - calmed. And on the other: that Intel understands the "foreseeable future"? The company also does not deny that the market for low-end it still goes to the BGA.
