Say Hello to Codename "Lynnfield": Socket LGA1156

[poldopunk]

Competitive ang price sa i7, and yet you need to spend more money on DDR3 memory kits, and a new motherboard. Lynnfield supposedly is the answer to mainstream consumers like them since awahi jud ko in terms of technology (sige lang gahuwat ug price drop, bahala obsolete na):

AnandTech: The Lynnfield Preview: Rumblings of Revenge





back: Bloomfield (i7), front: Lynnfield (Socket LGA1156)



left: Bloomfield (i7), right: Lynnfield (Socket LGA1156)



Conroe and Lynnfield side by side.

and finally, Anand Lal Shimpi's conclusion and opinion to the new processor:

"The breakdown seems pretty simple: if you’re the type of person who bought the Q6600/Q9300, then Lynnfield may be the Nehalem for you. If you spent a bit more on your CPU or are more of an enthusiast overclocker, the current Core i7 seems like the path Intel wants you to take."

Lynnfield, today, looks very good. Enable all of its turbo modes and I believe Intel has another winner on its hands. When Nehalem first launched I complained that the move to a smaller L2 cache kept it from significantly outperforming Penryn in some applications and games. With Lynnfield's turbo modes I believe my complaints will be addressed; need better performance in games? Turbo mode solves that. In many ways, Lynnfield could end up being even more significant than Core i7 ever was.
Penryn was always good, Bloomfield was nice to talk about but Lynnfield may end up being the one you marry.

most probably nex year pa ni mangawas diri bro

asay lynnfield ana?lain na pud na na socket?faet...hehehe..stick lang sa ko sa p43.2 nako...hahaha huwat sa price drop

[box2joe]

wow... i better save for this one instead. looks deserving and saves some peso.. specially now that i'm a bit tight...

[centax error]

bintaha ni kay mas gamay ra sa 1366...di kas ug thermal paste hehe

[eirawn]

changing of socket possibly means EOL of LGA1366.

[poldopunk]

1366 is not going EOL. Intel is dividing their mainstream and high-end chips. most OEM (Dell, HP, etc.) will use 1156. Apparently, enthusiasts like you and me only comprises .03% of the market so they need to yield to the OEMs.

wow tech is fast - next year is fast approaching.

tigum tigum tigum na... hehehe..
