The first one is something we first time mentioned in late 2007 and it is the LGA 1366 or the first socket that will support Bloomfield CPUs. This is the first desktop CPU scheduled for launch in Q4 2008.
The other two sockets actually look quite alike, but they might be different after all. The LGA 1160 will accommodate Lynnfield and Clarksfield CPUs while there is an alternative LGA 1160 socket that can support Nehalem with an integrated GPU that will accommodate Havendale / Auburndale CPUs.
Intel has three sockets for Nehalem
