[NEW STUFF] Intel LGA1155

[saaya]

me personally? no...
and i havent heard anything too detailed about the server SB chips besides them getting sampled and not offering notable ipc boosts...
you mentioning that those chips are "tweaked" and hinting at higher ipc for those chips than the desktop/mobile SB chips is actually the first time i heard of this...
so why are YOU so sure about this? :P

they wont have an igp so they will be able to use cache and memory bandwidth more efficiently and can maybe turbo a bit more if only a few cores are used... but that shouldnt really affect ipc a lot if at all... what else could intel be tweaking on those server/workstation SB chips? whatever it is, why wouldnt they do the same for their desktop/laptop chips? cause they dont WANT/NEED them to be faster? they most certainly do... its already hard to convince somebody to upgrade from 775, as there just isnt a noticeable perf boost unless your video encoding a lot...

i really cant wait for haswell, and im praying that intel will enable overclocking on it and fix their stupid pciE lock...

EDIT: wow i didnt know SB EX had that many restrictions when it comes to memory... 1600 only with 1 dimm per channel? only ddr3 800 with 3 dimms per channel? ddr3 800? there are ddr3 800 dimms?
and if its ddr3 low latency it can only run a single 1333 dimm per channel?
whats wrong with intels official memory support in the past years?
