Alex actually I'm not really concerned. On Intels, how many people upgrade just the processor these days, it's usually need faster memory an/or chipsets as well. So usually goes package deal anyway.
The horrible thought would be only Intel motherboards,,,,,,,,,,,,, yuck!!

Is not only a matter of upgrading the processor IMO, I've seen plenty of MoBos broken by power surges, storms, etc. but the processor always survided, the board being the weakest part. In that case instead of just replacing the board you'll have to get a new CPU to replace one that is in full working order

And if AMD decides to follow Intel's example ?

I already have an Intel with soldered on cpu...... An atom. AMD does it too. low power or latops.
welcome to the disposible future.

Sounds like collusion to me. Planned redundancy at its best.

There has always been planned redundancy in the traditional IT world - MS releases a new OS which requires a faster CPU, more memory, etc. A nice spiral marketing strategy between MS & Intel. The only challenge to this has come from the low power CPUs outside of this X86 stable - ARM, etc. These processors represent the future of IT, in my opinion & particularly more interesting for audio, because low power means less noise, simpler PS, etc, etc.

John There is another school of thought, as presented in a HFC article, that says the faster the processor the better it is for audio. There is no doubt that a simpler PSU, perhaps a Linear PSU that many are now opting for is a good idea, but it has been suggested that as processor speeds markedly increase, that their nasty by-products go up much higher in the spectrum where thy cause less audible degradation.More than 1 way to skin a cat ?

Sure, it's possible, Alex but maybe RFI is probably pretty bad for audio? Don't know, some experiments needed, I guess. We need measurements

Actually the ball solder joints are the worst type of solder joints as there are many known failures with it. Eg PS3 and X-Box. The clamp is a better tried and tested.
As for ugrading or disasters, I don't think many do that or face them when connected to "disaster" free distributors. The distrtibutors can be from simple to complex meaning relatively cheap to how much money you can throw.
