[NEW STUFF] SANDYBRIDGE LGA2xxx

[PatRaceTin]

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

wow i missing that news!!! 2011 mean new Waterblock&Heatsink too!!!

[Computurd]

I have heard that the 2011 will use the same spacing for heatsink, etc as the 1366. not sure on the accuracy of that though.

[FlanK3r]

now, waiting at first benchmark (crazy Cinebench R10 and R11.5, it will be score !!)

[BenchZowner]

Kewl!

So this LGA2011 has two latches now?

Yeah, and that's a good idea.

odd huh?

Looks odd, but it's a good addition technically.
Even pressure on both sides of the socket/CPU

[Johnny87au]

Cant wait for some more info to be leaked!

I have heard that the 2011 will use the same spacing for heatsink, etc as the 1366. not sure on the accuracy of that though.

looking at the pin spacing, it looks like the 2011 socket will be much larger than 1366 and will probably have diferent heatsink spacing. we will know for sure in the coming months, i do hope the release schedule for 2011 gets advanced, i need to retire my 775 setup...

definately new heatsink spacing...
hey JC, if you can, it would be very useful for the watercooling and ln2 guys here if you could post the 2011 mounting hole spacing

It's the same with LGA1366 ... see updates @ #1

[Olivon]

Really nice

Thanks a lot JC

Very nice update, thanks.

[Hornet331]

nice, thx for the pics.

So 2,5mb L3 per core confirmed. Also interesting to see that the L1I is now 8 way associative instead of 4 way. Higher association für L3 was kinda expected for the bigger size.

btw. JC if you having fun with the system, could you run this little bench?

http://www.cpuid.com/medias/files/softwares/latency.zip

Im curious about the L3 latencies...

[Helloworld_98]

seems to be a 3.2GHz CPU

unless it's a 4.2GHz CPU

oh wow really? who would have thought! intel actually listened to the feedback they got over how annoying the ever changing mounting holes are! props to intel! well done!

thx jc

EDIT: heeee! where are the hot chics?

[zalbard]

16 threads!

Why put IGP/GPU on die on this kind of processor ? That's waste IMHO

hehe i told you all this way back in March Nice update tough JC. Will try and get my self one of these and try some benchs or something.

BTW JC sent you a PM awaiting a reply...

I am not allowed to take full pics of the socket itself, this is still in development phase.

What ever this socket is it seems that my LGA 1366 coolers seem to fit it "same/similar mount holes"




This is zoomed quite a bit

EDIT: Sorry but i got a PM from a person who says that this pic can land in a problem specially now when media starts getting interested on JC's shots.

Not at all this saves the mobo maker some money not only that it gives Intel more fiscal return. Not to mention that this is the future "Fusion is future hehe"

I prefer a more beefy processor with remaining area's space. I will probably never use the integrated solution and grab ATi or nVidia dedicated ones ... but that's the market

[FlanK3r]

omg !!! 20 MB L3...this is real :banana::banana::banana::banana: . thx JC and we are all still waiting for next update

Where does it show an IGP on these guys?

8 core, 16 thread, 20 MB L3, quad channel memory... nice.

[terrace215]

Also interesting to see that the L1I is now 8 way associative instead of 4 way.

Yeah, the 1155 cpuz shots show L1I @ 8-way, too.

Interestingly, Yonah/Merom/Conroe/Penryn were 8-way, while Nehalem/Westmere were 4-way...

Now back to 8-way.

[fellix_bg]

Interestingly, Yonah/Merom/Conroe were 8-way, while Penryn/Nehalem/Westmere were 4-way...

Penryn is 8-way.

[terrace215]

Penryn is 8-way.

oops, edited. misleading cpu-z google result.

No, it has 20MB L3 shared cache which means that every core can use the whole 20MB cache

I don't think he implied differently. Besides, the L3 is in fact in 2.5MB/core slices, interconnected by a ring bus.

Nehalem has also sliced L3 cache.

Indeed its shared, but it still is physically allocated to a core.
