Intel "Sandy Bridge-E" LGA-2011 Info Thread

[Doink the Clown]

Prve konkretnije informacije o novom Intelovom X68 chipsetu.

Intel LGA2011 Socket, X68 Express Chipset Pictured

Here are the first pictures of Intel's new high-end CPU socket, the 2011-pin land grid array (LGA2011). A selection of pictures of an unannounced motherboard by MSI made it to the internet. LGA2011, coupled with a new chipset, the Intel X68 Express, will drive the company's new high-end and enthusiast-grade processors that feature 6, 8, or 12 cores, and quad-channel DDR3 memory controllers. At first sight, the LGA2011 is huge! Its retention clip looks to be completely detachable by unhooking the retention bars on either sides. With all LGA sockets till date, you needed to unhook one retention bar, letting you open the retention clip along a hinge.

Since the processor has four DDR3 memory channels, there's room for only one DIMM per channel on a typically-sized ATX motherboard. On this particular motherboard, we can make out that there are two DIMM slots on either sides of the socket, accommodating two channels each. With this platform, Intel transferred the northbridge component completely to the CPU package, much like LGA1156/LGA1155. Therefore, the 32-lane PCI-Express controller is housed inside the CPU package. What remains of the chipset is a PCH (platform controller hub). Like P55/H55/P67/H67, the X68 is a PCH, a glorified southbridge. It will house a smaller PCI-E hub that handles various connectivity devices, a storage controller, a LPCIO controller, USB and HDA controllers, and the DMI link to the processor. We will get to know more about this platform as the year progresses.

jel zna kakve novosti o ovome?

Već vidim na tone savinutih pinova na socketu...

Evo ja danas malo trazio o tim procesorima i plocama pa evo na sta sam naisao, doduse izgleda da su sve xeoni, ali nema veze

LINK - tu ima slika procesora i skrinšot sa 8 jezgri (16 thredova)

LINK - a tu ima par grafikona i slike ploce za 1P i 2P

E da, mozda bi se i trebao promjeniti naziv ove teme, jer chipset nece biti x68, nego x79, doduse to je vec "stara" vijest, ali vidim da jos nije dospjela vamo.

E ovo me zanima.

Dakle, 4 channel ddr3, to znači da bi ploče trebale dolaziti sa 8 memorijskih slotova ili 4?
Sadašnje tripple su bile sa 6, pa držim fige da ni ove neće biti igračke

Vidim da piše 1 DIMM per channel, što bi reklo da je četiri DIMM-a potrebno za postizanje četverokanalne konfiguracije. Na ovim slikama MSI X78 ploča izgleda da su po dva RAM DIMM-a iznad i ispod socketa.

Ovo ce imho biti super tek ako izadje u 22nm. Ovako ce ih Ivy Bridge nadmasiti...

[Overhaul]

Meni baš ne zvuči logično da bi ostali (samo i isključivo) na 4 slota, što bi ih spustilo s konja (6 slotova na 1366) na magarca. Ovaj prvi post je bio još iz vremena kad su mislili da će hajend chipset biti X68, a ne X79... Tako da mi ova gore slikica sa xeon platforme ulijeva nadu Uostalom, zašto pokoja high end ploča nebi bila i EATX; entuzijasti i profići baš i ne trpaju extreme edition proceve sa pasivnim hlađenjem u HTPC. Uglavnom je riječ o mrcinama od kućišta koja moraju zgutati par najmasnijih grafičkih, najmasivinje hlađenje i koji kilovat napajanja.

[SRV]

Pa dosta je 4 slota. Ujedno i 4 kanala. Naguras lako 4GB keksove unutra i dobijes 16GB.
