I understand. Eg a core i socket vs a ryzen vs opetron or xenon
With LGA; land grid array, metal sockets, very little of the value is in the socket itself. But the boards tend to be a known commodity. Double sockets have the same items, (components, controllers, etc) doubled.
(There are places where the idea works against you and I’ve brought those up to Chris before. Such as Gigabyte, and Asus, extreme gaming level boards. Unfortunately they are such a minority boardsort can’t creat a class for something they may see one or two of in a month. If that. )
Generally there is so little difference in value based on the sockets alone it’s not worth sorting any further. We’re honestly talking adding 1-3 cents for TR4 vs an OSC socket. Or Socket F vs Socket L. H2 vs R. When looking at that range you can see an h4 is actually overvalued by a few cents. Socket J is considerably over valued on this by nearly 8 cents. An sp3 with 4094 lands is about 22 cents below value based on averages. (Who in their right mind is scrapping an SP3 board any way!)
All told in a few years when TR4, SP3, and 3647 start to enter the scrap stream... maybe it will be worth making a category. As those are worth more. But since there’s virtually 0 chance of them ending up in the waste stream at the moment they’re a non factor. If you hooked one of those up to a whole house generator with jumper cables and fried it you’d still get $200+ for it on ebay.
