Soldier?You don't have to soldier a CPU onto a board in order to test it. all you need is some sort of testing apparatus that can make contact with all of the soldier points.It will be a few years yet before manufacturing can afford to solder on $50+ cpu chips. The defect hardware cost could
be huge. And beyond Intels control. And I cannot ever imagine higher end-cost cpu ever being soldered. Sockets on good computers are here to stay for a long time. To solder a cpu demands near perfection from manufacturing of the
circuit board it goes on. Maybe with phones or tablets, but a long time to come for a Desktop, Full Laptop or Server motherboard.Computer Type: PC/Desktop

Probably why they'll keep sockits...
Or they might "soldier on with sockets"
