Using a socket for a few CPU's isn't something Intel created. Nearly all embedded CPU's re-use sockets for a while. It's just as easy to upgrade an ARM, MIPS and POWER machine as it is x86.

I didn't literally mean easy to upgrade the hardware, I mean terms of how doable it would be without messing up already developped games. But as I stated, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Normally that isn't a problem. All mainstream processor architectures are backwards compatible with older instruction sets.
