Yes there will be multi socket for Sandy Bridge EN, EP and EX series (If I got the names of those correct.
At least, support is included in the socket designs.
Someone will design one I am sure. There was a pic of a guy holding up a 2P Gigabyte board, that made it look like X58, but I suspect it will be socket 1356 instead. It is only a few months away.
I thought Intel and AMD played by CY not FY when they mentioned quarters but then I read that Intels Q1 is up this month, so Q3 might mean May-July
EN (1356 X68) will support 1-2P the 2011 will support 1-4P although I am sure that will change since technically the current server Nehalem EX supports up to 256P through daughter boards.
