I hope they settle on FM2 for a while. I'd hate to see a new socket every generation. I think that AMD's motherboard compatibility is normally one of its strengths, so I don't like that they deviate from this for the APU's.

I was just thinking that didn't last very long.

My A6-3670 workstation at work is pretty awesome. They have been pretty good CPUs.
