Looking at Intel's New-ish Desktop Socket, LGA 1366

Posted by timothy on Sunday May 31, 2009 @10:31PM from the odd-number-of-RAM-sticks-means-cognitive-dissonance dept.

Slatterz writes "LGA 1366 is Intel's first new desktop socket in four years. It uses the same ZIF design as the familiar LGA 775 architecture, but it incorporates many more contacts. These big architectural changes are backed up by some less visible advances. Until now, Intel's quad-core processors have been constructed from two dual-core dies, but now Core i7 brings together four cores on a single die. It's also Intel's first processor design to use an L3 cache, shared between all four cores."

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
This has been happening for days, maybe weeks now.
