A shor time ago, it seemed that the announcement of 2011 LGA platform will be reply to the Intel family of processors Bulldozer from AMD. But the reality proved wrong those forecasts - AMD developers could not provide micro-architecture that is capable to get into high-performance solutions. In the issue, in the top market somite, Intel continues to feel the rightful owner and dictates its own regulations. Are such that the new micro-architecture are used in desktop high-end very much later than they are being introduced at the secondary scale. Such politics is not bound with the manifestation of Intel’s edacity, deliberately holding back the penetration of advanced technologies like news for computer for example, in the system for enthusiasts. Highly productive Intels platform for desktop systems are simplified version of the server-side solutions, which, really, later updated desktop proposals, as their production requires more neatly preparation.
Thus, i7 processors in LGA 2011 performance-based on microarchitecture Sandy Bridge, come on the market just now. And then, it's still a little before the appearance of symmetric server platform and processor Xeon E5, which will be announced until early next year. And now, consumers who want to build their productive systems based on processors with a new microarchitecture Sandy Bridge, offered only for Core i7 LGA 1155-motherboard. Although we can’t complain about their performance, these processors in some ways inferior to those present in the market over the past year and a half members of the series for Core i7 LGA 1366 systems, which are based on design and Gulftown microarchitecture Nehalem. Namely, the number of nuclei in the LGA 1155 processors, limited to 4, memory controller has a dual-channel structure, and multi-GPU configurations are supported only on the cut-off scheme. So, desire of enthusiasts get their hands on analogues Gulftown, built on new technology, it is quite natural. And finally, it can be fully satisfied. Today, Intel is launching a new platform LGA 2011, including a six-core Core i7 CPUs family Sandy Bridge-E and a new chipset X79 Express. This platform will likely object of desire of all computer geeks, because it not only allows the use of powerful processors at the moment, but also makes it possible to use the GUI for PCI Express 3.0 standard and high-speed four-channel memory. In other words, nothing better than a desktop just is not and can not be.
