is it even out yet? z68?

In a few weeks sure. MSI first week of May. Combo at MC pretty much inevitable.

Really disappointing if the 6 core pricing is above $500. Ahh well when does Haswell get here ?

and what Interlagos Movieman?

Maybe it will be better choice

>i7 960 for ~u$300 in Q3...

could that be the affordable i7 970 we've been looking for?

The i7 960 already exists mate, its a Bloomfield

I doubt there will be any cheaper 6 cores than the i7 970 in Q3, considering LGA2011 is released in Q4.

you got it wrong

the roadmap says i7 960 will be replaced in q3, it could another quad-core or a more affordable i7 970 (along with i7 990 u$580, i7 995X u$999)

The latter is more likely (pushing down from 995X), which would make the 970 its replacement. I doubt theres a new Bloomfield coming though... And that would also make my statement true. No cheaper 6 cores than the i7 970

thanks for the update!

**kpablo** · 04-20-2011, 09:42 AM

So Sandy Bridge E will support PCI Express 3.0 or not? Asking because... none of the roadmap mention it... and it's supposed to be released with Sandy Bridge E, right?

**TheLostSwede** · 04-20-2011, 11:40 AM

Yes, Sandy Bridge-E supports PCI Express 3.0, 40 lanes worth of it, although only 32 lanes will be for graphics as 4 lanes will be for the 8 SAS/SATA ports and I dunno if the other four lanes will be used or not on the consumer version.

As for new CPUs in Q3, well the roadmap is only reserving the option for Intel to launch new models, it doesn't say the company will launch new models for certain...

i know it is frustrating so much is left to conjecture. give me the damn E series already and be done with it.

anyone have thoughts on the longevity of the 2011 socket? think it will be even close to the 1366 reign of dominance?

It seems like Intel is considering bundling SNB-E processors with water cooling systems such as the Corsair H50.

Read the last line from the presentation slide.

Sorry, don't know how i missed that...

I think, this "49" slide is fake. But we will see

I highly doubt that Intel will include a watercooling kit system bundled with their CPU's, but we'll see. And I rather use third party cooling systems, when it comes to Intel's stock cooling... no thanks.

Have you tried H50 Corsair cooling solution ?

Quite a good cooling solution ...

Far away from crappy Intel's rad stock

**Chrono Detector** · 04-21-2011, 07:32 AM

^^ Yes, I own a Corsair H50 and it works great on my i7, and yes Intel's stock coolers are trash.

Hmm... And what is the point in bashing stock coolers for "an inability to cool overclocked cpus"? After all these are low cost solutions designed to keep cpu from overheating when it operates with stock clocks/volts. They actually does theirs jobs. Now if it is true that Intel will release "enthusiast cooling solution", then it worth wait and see what it will bring to the table before starting a pointless bashing based on "trash stock coolers".

Makers To Demo Intel X79 Boards at COMPUTEX 2011 - VRZone

Intel X79 boards will be ready as early as August and Sandy Bridge-E processor about a month after.

i guess that they want to steal some PR from AMD

**Computurd** · 05-01-2011, 06:03 PM

hmm pcie 3.0 for storage traffic? am i reading this right>?

Now intel has consolidated its lineup form 5 sockets to 4.

I would.

AMD consolidated its line up to 1 and a half.

Yeah, thats what it says...

What... you got AM3+, FM1, C32 and G32... for intel its S775, S1156, S2011, S1567... they are on par on that generation when it comes to socket for desktop/server.

So youd better start crying about amd also.

Sweclockers says that Sandy Bridge E is 66% faster than a Core i7 2600K, but no other details are available like the benchmarks used and this sort of things...

Additional Details on Sandy Bridge-E Processors, X79, and LGA2011 - Anandtech

Memory support will move up to quad-channel DDR3-1333, so where the current Bloomfield can provide up to 25.6GB/s of bandwidth at the specified tri-channel DDR3-1066, LGA2011 kicks that figure up to 42.7GB/s—a 66% increase.

As with other i7 processors, all the new chips support Hyper-Threading, and while the hex-core chips will be fully multiplier unlocked the quad-core offering will be a “limited unlock”. The roadmap states that the limited unlock will allow up to six bins of overclocking above the maximum Turbo frequencies, which means that even that chip should be able to hit up to 4.5GHz (with appropriate cooling, motherboard, etc.)
