Intel to Have Two New Sockets For Nehalem in 2008

Post by **Apoptosis** » Sat Oct 21, 2006 10:59 am

Intel is going to implement 2 new sockets for the next generation Nehalem architecture in 2008 and they are Socket B and Socket H. As we know, Nehalem is 45nm based and we are going to see some exciting changes such as IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) and CSI. Socket B will be LGA1366 and Socket H will be LGA715. The reason why Socket B has so many more contact pads is pretty obvious. It is due to the IMC on the Nehalem CPU. Since there is a Socket H version as well, we can expect there will be another Nehalem based CPUs without IMC.

The 45nm are currently being tested.

More than just tested! Intel have plenty of working 45nm silicon. They could produce a whole SKU of 45nm based chips if they wanted.

45nm "Nehalem" is currently been tested...........and is working AFAIK (just slowly)
Remember Nehalem is a few generations ahead of C2D.

Wait and sell the **** out of what you have and then when the competition has something to compete drop the new **** and blow them back out of the water...
