DX58SO2 and DX58OG get a BIOS update to 0876.
Also, DP67BG gets new 2053 with MS OEM Activation 3.0 for Windows 8! This seems to be present also in 0029 for DZ68DB.
Intel is working hard on Win8 support it seems.

Dear Manel:
I rescued this from a tomshardware page:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/pa...71_28_550.html
IB will be best overall in price/performance but SB-E will be like LGA1366, just the very high end. Right now there will be three SB-E CPUs, a quad core with a locked multiplier starting at $294, a 6 core with a unlocked multiplier starting at $580ish and then a Extreme 6 core for $999. Those are 1Ku tray prices so they will be a bit higher.
SB-E will have higher overall performance, support for dual PCIe 2.0, quad channel DDR3 etc while IB will have 22nm 2 8x PCIe 2.0 and dual channel ddr3.
SB-E is due November this year, IB will be out probably Feb/Mar 2012.
This could improve a little your affirmation Manel.:clap::clap::clap:
Hi Paty
Yes, that info has benn available for a while now. Only thing to correct is that both support PCIe 3.0 out of the box, it seems even SB also does only Intel didn't mention it!
I was really looking forward to X79 but it doesn't seem so sweet now, I believe Intel could have done much better after so long in development. Some things don't make a lot of sense for the desktop market, although this chipset is designed for workstation/server as well, but still I would have made it different.
Anyway, guess I'll skip this one too or wait for a revision.
I'm eager to see Siler still, maybe they make a good job with it.
LAN drivers v16.5 released sometime ago are now available for the newer boards.
Also audio driver update.
Things are awfully quiet regarding X79, by this time there should already be leaked shots of boards.
The same goes for HD7000 and GTX600 series of GPUs. 28nm is kinda late and with poor yields but TSMC says they're on track for Q444.
Confirmation that Ivy Bridge will have a DirectX 11 capable GPU. Cool, but I guess performance will not be that great. Crysis 2 on Intel IGP, anyone?
Newsflash!!!
SB-E and DX79SI/TO will be launched on November 15th. That's 2 months away. Funny how so little info has leaked by now.
Still it seems no native USB 3.0 support, I guess since Intel is rushing it out there was no time to add it. Maybe in another (future) stepping, or the harware is ready and it's only a driver issue yet.
This is going to be some Xmas, AMD FX or Intel SNB-E, AMD MD7000 and maybe (though not likely) nVidia GTX600 (availability only Q1-2012 for sure, tape out Q4-2011).
Man, is this gonna be a hell of a year end or new year 2012!
Dear manel.
here a good Pic about the SB-E socket and Thermal solution.wow

This is new for me , the processors name::)

I hope this could give our friends on this excellent forum a good review from Intel the greatest Tech Industry in the world. I don't forget the possibility to get an ES from this awesome products; yes , I am a University Professor I guess this could be helpful.
:clap::clap::clap::clap: for Intel.
Thanx Paty. You always get the good stuff!!
The names were out already for a while, and the cooling solution was already mentioned that would come only as an option, not supplied with the proc. I'm not sure who will buy an Intel cooler, but it looks good and maybe I will. Everybody's going liquid these days, AMD will supply also a liquid cooler with FX.
Does this look like Corsair's setup? It's good for skt 2011, 1366, 1156 and 1155.
The Siler looks good but it seems I see USB 3.0 connectors, just bellow the first connector (which I can't recognise although it seems an optical audio connector, but that's an odd place for it).
So, you're an University Professor, where do you teach and what?
OK, seen those pics at IDF, and some more. Siler has a skull also, don't like it much. Also a PCI slot (Intel come on, loose it already), POST display, power on and reset onboard switches, 90 deg SATA connectors, but the first back connector puzzles me. Forget it, I believe it's the Reset BIOS button.
Loose the skull Intel!!
Asetek cooler after all, which is the OEM for the Corsair Hydro H70 as a matter of fact.
The Intel logo and fan light up blue.
Is Intel getting too "bells and whistles" like eastern guys, or is it just me?!
Something is fishy here, reports claim that the 2nd LAN port is driven by a Realtek controller. I've heard before that it was also an Intel controller, but lower speced one. Intel using Realtek? That would be funny.
Based on Patsburg-A still, no SAS and PCIe uplink.
Pics of Intel's water cooling solution at IDF:

Co-developed with Asetek. Looks good.
Dear Manel:
some Info ON SB-E:
Attachment 120232
These Performances are awesome, Intel Tech as usually.
P.S.: The Bulldozer FX will be in the Market on September 16; SB-E will be on September ,too?.
Paty, I had seen those numbers but take those with a grain of salt.
Those are only the ones Intel wants you to see, marketing trick. Everybody else does it too.
Thse numbers are SPEC and Sandra synthetics, they take advantage of extra mem bandwidth (remember quad channel) and the newer AVX. If you see the whole graphs you will realise that on average the difference is around 10-15%, which is also great none the less.
Yes, Buldozer seems a good CPU but I don't think it will play in the same league as i7-3xxx SB-E. To spoil the party Intel will launch at the same time as Buldozer the i7-2700K, a beast. Buldozer however just hit 8.429GHz on liquid Helium the other day (long ago that is but AMD only now disclosed it).
Dear Friend:
I thank you very much for your approaches to the Intel Tech future.
I have some questions:
It's real the stability Situation with SB-E tested with Prime 95?
This is a premature point of view on the capacity to the future SB-E?
Well, The rival interest is on this treath I said.:down::down::down:
Hi
Can't say for sure if there are problems.
Until we see some hardware out there for testing, which oddly enough there hasn't been (Intel managed to contain ES leaks?!), we need to wait. It seems SB-E will draw a lot of power when pushed to the limits, up to 180W (overclocked and overvolted, I guess), which makes the Intel (Asetek) liquid cooler not so enthusiast friendly (good for 130W only, so why bother have it?).
Still, there were issues with stepping C0 but Intel is already on C1 for some time now, which addresses known problems, I've heard.
Not long until we start seeing some of those puppies out there, I hope.
No i still didn't try, not much interested in it. But Manel, if you're still an owner of dx38bt you may wish to play with it :p: Probably other will be interested to join party, as well.Quote:

Well, We will wait a little time to reach a final and improve SKU from Intel.ES as well.
and their MB, too.:clap::clap::clap:
Hi dukz
Are you sure our boards (DX38BT) have x64 UEFI already? Because I can't find it writen anywhere. What do you mean no SATA AHCI (boot mode?) implementation?
Too bad about the shell.
Paty
Good find. Core voltage seems a bit on the high side though.
Hi, Manel :)
Well, in the article, link to which i gave you in far past, Russian guy figured out that UEFI is there with two limitations (he has DP35DP, but also mentions DX38BT board), he also got success with adding missing console (one of limitations).Quote:
Are you sure our boards (DX38BT) have x64 UEFI already? Because I can't find it writen anywhere.
Well that guy wrote "There is no AHCI", so i suppose he may meant one of two things: either one can't boot shell module from GPT partition using SATA drive in AHCI mode, or can't boot OS from any partition using drive in same mode from the shell itself. I will try this solution today and will tell you more.Quote:
What do you mean no SATA AHCI (boot mode?) implementation?
Yes, I had forgotten about this. The translation is terrible though, can't understand half of it.
Still, I believe that our BIOS only has UEFI boot support, for larger than 2.2GB drives, it's not a full UEFI implementation, not sure though.
Check this out:

Intel made them remove the performance data from the review, damn. Too bad.
OCs upto 5GHz easily it seems.
Can't wait for mid November. Still, PCIe 3.0 cards will only be out in Q1 2012, both Kepler and Southern Islands.
Interesting times coming up.
X79 is still a bit disappointing to me though, Intel could have done much better. It looks a rushed port from the server chipset.
Oo, trouble for Intel it seems. VT-d is broken for SB-E on C1 stepping. C2 only to come out next year it seems. VT-d makes hardware acceleration available to VMs.
Will Intel go ahead anyway with C1, which should be sampling already? Bad move I'd say.

http://vr-zone.com/articles/tylersbu...-bay/8877.html
X79 will b costing $70, 20% higher than X58. Come on Intel, now I'm off this boat. A sh*tty chipset with a higher cost?! And evencheaper to produce? Come on!
