Nodes or not your statement was total bunk...
See what i quoted.
Your tryin to interpret their manuf. process being simplified and equate it to the end user not having to replace a MBoard for a chip upgrade which as i stated total Bunk...and a misrepresentation of the article...
I respectfully disagree.
From the article, the intent of Intel is to offer more incremental upgrades to CPUs without the need to re-do the whole motherhood. This is to please markets other than DIY PC-Gamers. Intel is looking at telecoms and data centres and related IT industries for upgrading CPUs rather that buying better mother boards. Such would be attractive. Sell more CPUs, less chipsets. So the IT centre, not the computer maker, would buy more from Intel.
Now if Intel really does have a new incremental and economical upgrade path to favor CPU upgrade over motherboard upgrade, it may filter down to be a plus for DIY PC hobby people.
I did not mean to say Intel was wanting to target the small DIY audience. No, rather, an incremental upgrade path would benefit everybody, not just the large users in telecom and IT industries.
Does that make sense?
