    Because of low power cunsumer the BGA idear will be good but bad for OC\custom users, OC failing and failing of cooler market. Limit the ideea of custum PC's in the future... and less work for guys like me... already start with tablets. PROFIT... CONTROL... QUICK MONEY... A TV IN AVERY ROOM... (you know the line...) sorry for my english!!!
