What will happen to socket 1366

While Intel is still shaking out their bus interconnect architecture, AMD has been using HyperTransport for over a decade now. Expect to see LGA to hold the high end for a while, at least through the next generation of processors, since QPI offers a higher bandwidth than Intel processors are able to obtain at current speeds.

AMW Distinguished. Dec 5, 2, 0 20, This is what happens when a single company all but monoplizes the market. Oh well, at least current processors are more than fast enough to last for years without needing and upgrade. Jul 4, 1, 0 19, 2. I know that is a bickering point around here but personally, I want a new CPU to be surrounded by as many features as possible. I don't want it sitting on a functional but mediocre board from years past. Allowing the same socket to accommodate the newest CPU isn't a bad thing.

If you are Intel and the majority of your sales are through OEM channels it is a moot point. They are going to buy them regardless. Nonsense; its a matter of motherboard compatability. You can NOT make significant architecture changes in the way a chip operates and maintain the same motherboard architecture.

Remember, even on , there were multiple motherboards that didn't support C2D when they came out, multiple motherboards that didn't support C2Q, and multiple boards that couldn't run the die shrinks of those chips. And thats within a single socket! It's like AMD would release one socket that took care of all three changes, while keeping some backward compatibility.

At least that's what it feels like from the standpoint of a consumer trying to avoid being bent over. Maybe I'm a bit too cynical, or maybe they really could do better about being customer-friendly.

Feb 18, 3, 4 23, Oct 5, 21, 59, 1, New chipsets mean nothing. AMD has a new chipset specifically designed for Thuban. Intel had the P35 for Core 2 and then the P45 for core 2 as well.

Both worked for the CPUs. X68 is being desigend for Sandy Bridge specifically. Doesn't mean there wont be LGA chips. Storage Server.

The other two sockets concentrate on low and medium-end processors and motherboards — which has a much greater range of customers.

You really can only release a couple of high end products before you experience cannibalization. There have been rumors of all sockets being discontinued Yes we have all heard rumors about being discontinued with the advent of LGA We have also heard rumors of being discontinued. But no one knows any of this for sure.

The point is that these all are just… rumors. Intel is rumored to release its flagship Core X This processor was receiving a lot of attention back in November and is apparently suppose to come out in Quarter 1 of That looks like the peak for this generation of LGA models.

New generations of LGA are definitely still possible. Also note that there is a chance the other processors will slightly lower in price as a result of this release.
