Intel Ivy Bridge-E lanseras i tredje kvartalet

Intel tend to shift between socket types quite quickly and consistently, from LGA 1156 to LGA 1155 to LGA 1150 (Haswell, due next Year). Yet reports state LGA 2011 will stick around for the Highest end Intel platforms even if the lower performance sockets keep shifting.

LGA 2011 is expected to be maintained through Ivy Bridge-EX, Haswell-EX, and Broadwell-EX. The EX hasn’t been seen for a while, Sandy Bridge-EX never hit the market since Intel felt there was no point of making another 32nm range of EX based processors (they already have Westmere EX), so the next EX arrives with Ivy Bridge’s 22nm process.

X79 kommer att hänga med ett tag framöver

Super pi är väl bara singetrådat? vilket innebär att en 3570K blir snabbare i det än en 10kärning+ IB-E

Å fan! Låter som en X79@LGA2011 är framtidskompatibel. Hmm, fick tag i en X79 UD3 billigt (500:- NY) för ett tag sedan. Kanske det bästa köpet jag har gjort på länge.
