Internet rumors and all, but the word is that Broadwell processors (next gen after Haswell) will come only as BGA versions meaning processors are pre-soldered to motherboards. Reason would be Intel grabbing bigger piece of the market killing off Asus, MSI, Gigabyte etc in the process. And Microsoft is blamed for anti-competitive practices?

edit: Seems plausible as AMD is also going the tablet/laptop way. Desktop PC sales are dropping every year.
