The future of Intel and Sandy Bridge problems with early solution

Those problems with the chipset will have little impact. Many manufacturers have already informed about the protocol in case the user wants to change your motherboard affected by a new, though the vast majority of them indicated they would be from April when proceedings commenced, because Intel needed few months to prepare and distribute new products worldwide.

Today we know that times have been cut and will be on Monday 14 February when Intel will have already prepared the new motherboards, which do not have the design flaw which, remember, only affected certain plate SATA2 ports base. The new version of the board shall be known as B3, internal nomenclature we know thanks to the list of technical specifications listed for each manufacturer.

Sandy Bridge is, today, the Intel platform designed to provide a low yield, medium and high. We have processors ranging from 100 to almost 300 euros, and it is clear that Intel has always offered a few models still above the existing ones. The future of Intel is called Sandy Bridge E, and will be the successors of the current Core i7-900 running under the Intel X58 chipset and LGA1366.

We could say that Sandy Bridge will be Sandy Bridge E today with steroids. A leading range of processors that will most likely begin in the 250 or 300 euros and also bring different characteristics and technical specifications. Perhaps most notable is the new socket LGA2011. Yes, yet another, different and totally incompatible with LGA1155 of the 'Sandy Bridge' presented within a few weeks ago at CES.

The new socket also will be accompanied by new chipsets, whose names have not yet come to light. These chipsets will improve the characteristics of P67, H67 and company: we speak of quad-channel DDR3 as a great gain, in addition to other differences as an independent management in the frequencies of SATA and USB bus, hyperthreading and processors that have 4 or 6 nuclei, ie, 8 or 12 threads in all cases with Turbo.

Likely not include integrated GPU, it should be considered a crime. For now, few details on E Sandy Bridge, but it looks like it will be the new high end Intel products for the domestic market. It is virtually certain that the public will focus more advanced, more specifically the world of overclocking.

The launch is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2011, but would not rule that were delayed a few weeks to be presented in CES 2012. Although E Sandy Bridge is a platform of great interest, we must not forget that we speak of a very high range with a full team to exceed $ 1,000 in the most basic configurations.

Intel's future in the medium term for the domestic market where prices are restrained Ivy Bridge will remain a platform upon which we discussed last week. Ivy Bridge will be the evolution of the current Sandy Bridge, and will move from 32 to 22 nanometers, including GPU, Turbo and Hyperthreading.

A very interesting platform, thanks to developments in the manufacturing process to improve performance while maintain (or decrease) other information such as energy consumption or operating temperature. Vía | SlashGear, Nordichardware, Nordichardware.
