That's exactly what it is. I previously had Intel hardware for a few generations, but I got seriously pissed off that every time I wanted to upgrade, they had come up with a new incompatible socket and discontinued everything older so I had to also buy a new motherboard.
I think they might be a bit better at supporting older sockets these days, but still, too many sockets and incompatible chipsets.
