Lately, it seemed that announcement of 2011 LGA platform will be an response to the Intel family of processors Bulldozer of AMD. But the actuality proved wrong those prediction - AMD developers could not provide micro-architecture that is capable to get into high-performance solutions. In consequence of, in the upper market somite, Intel continues to feel the rightful host and dictates their own regulations. Are such that new micro-architecture are used in desktop high-end very much later than they are being introduced at the second layer. That kind of policy isn’t linked with the manifestation of Intel’s rapacity, deliberately holding back the penetration of advanced technologies like technology for computers for example, in the system for enthusiasts. High-performance Intels platform for desktop systems are simplified version of the server-side solutions, which, really, later updated desktop proposals, as their production requires much more careful preparation.
So, Core 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 submitted until early next year. Until 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 not 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, the memory controller has a dual-channel structure, and multi-GPU configurations are supported only on the cut-off scheme. Thus, the desire of enthusiasts get their hands on analogues Gulftown, made by 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 maniacs, because it 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.
