You've managed to bend some pins on Intel setups since they switched them from the CPU to the motherboard socket?

I've been using these two Athlon chips for paper weights on my desk for the past two years. (A 2400 and i forget the redish looking one). Still... perfect pins, only a little dust. Ok... perhaps a lot of dust.

Anyways, back to the topic. I must say that over 2,000 pins is HUGE! The chips that need such a massive number of interconnects are going to dominate.

Bulldozer? More like "swiffer".

AMD hate? Clever.

It will be interesting what intel releases on LGA2XXX+. That's nuts.

This picture is worthless without hot asian chicks and benchies and screen caps! (not really, nice spy shot :))

Not really. I simply buy the CPU which performs the best and has great motherboards that have acceptable driver support. I owned AMD chips from the first Athlon 1ghz until the Core 2 Duo was released. Athlons, Palomino's, thunderbirds, and Athlon XP, and X2's. I personally owned about a dozen different chips, not including hundreds I sold to customers.

See... I along with countless AMD fans way back when they beat Intel to the 1ghz mark had a habit of really taking that big win and just rubbing it in, twisting the knife, and adding salt. I had an attitude much like you see here among the current AMD/ATi crowd. Then along came C2D and a very wealthy Intel who was committed to never endure a similar b*tch slapping again, and ever since they've made exceptional chips. Couple that with me growing up, being a more responsible business owner, and realizing how much extra time I had to spend on every single AMD rig that I sold to a customer because of some quirk or another.... I just figured that opportunity cost was king and I'd stay with selling a product that rarely ever returned due to "problems" after it had left the building with it's new owner.

Oh. And FYI... I use AMD chips exclusively for paper weights. I simply used that photo because of the pins being on the CPU rather than the socket itself.

Here is a super sweet Celeron 450 and a Pentium 4 521-ht. If I ever come across a usable socket 775 board, i'll add what remaining spare parts to complete a system and sell it to a neighbor for an internet PC. Same goes for a couple E5300's which I cannot seem to find right now. Actually... I was surprised how well that chip played most games when paired up with an 8800gts.

They almost look like bent up rivets. Hard to tell from such a crappy pic. That must have been taken with one of the earliest camera-phones ever made to look like that.

It may be a shot of LGA2xxx, the board was at an angle so the hole in the center appears squarish but its not.

The contact pins/pads are soldered straight on the PCB surface?

Kewl!

So this LGA2011 has two latches now?

Thanks JC for the PM back

ok i can confirm that the second pic is correct as far as i know. Have to say its center is cleaner than it was before :D

That's quite impressive. ！(◎_◎)
When can we expect these out in the wild ?

second pic is better, thx jc :toast:
looks a lot like 1567... but less free space in the center

2011 cpus dont have pins atm, and i doubt the final ones will have em :D

Yep, your pic from back then shows about 24 rows (alternatingly offset) along the top-to-bottom side of the center gap in your photo.

You can just count the same rows in JC's second updated pic, and the count is also about 24. ;)

(In JC's pic, it's the number of pin rows along the side of the center gap that runs from upper left to lower right.)

At last someone with some sence:clap:::up:

I had alsmost exact same experience. And thats what also kept me from purchasing ATI card . I like timely driver support and no artifacts in my games.

There is no 1356, high-end desktop is also LGA-2011 now.

thats quite some pins...

yes, but there is a difference. BGA packages have better electrical properties than LGA/PGA. most of the pins on LGA2011 will be for stable power.

also gt200 had ~2,500 pins or more properly, balls.

Why sandbridge needs an new socket? i3's socket is still shining new....
