Intel 3.40EE & 3.60E - LGA Arrives

Posted by timothy on from the little-bendy-pieces dept.

MBR writes "MBReview has taken a quick look at Intel's new high-end LGA775 processors, the 3.40GHz Extreme Edition, and the 3.60GHz 'E,' now known as the 560. They've covered some of the questions about pin frailty of the new LGA socket, as well as cooling issues that might arise from these new processors." ("LGA" stands for Land Grid Array, which moves pins from the processor to the socket it sits in.) Update: 06/19 20:50 GMT by T : Reader Chi-Energy points out that besides the new processor packaging, Intel has also just released its i925X and i915 chipsets, PCI Express and DDR2 DRAM for the desktop, and links to this review showcase with benchmarks at HotHardware.

    I can't wait till I can pick these up with mobos from the skip behind my local computer shop.

    Should be four years or so till people start throwing them away, but it's nice to have something to look forward to.

    Every computer I've had for the last 15 years has been a tower. I prefer my computer out of the way under the desk where I can't hear it so much. The extra box on the desk just annoys me.
