ASUS P6T Series Features New Intel X58 Chipset

[Blauhung]

16 phase CPU PWM... Cra-aaazy I tell you!


Btw, why does X58 have so friggin HUGE die?

the die is actually smaller then 2 Merom stuck together to form a MCM quad core Kentsfield. The socket and package are larger due to all the extra pins needed to run 2 QPI lanes and 3 memory channels.

EDIT: oh you ment Tylersburg. Well it needs to carry IO for 2 QPI lanes, the logic for PCI control and all the logic required to control the power and clocks for all the seperate parts of 2 Nehalem die.
