Intel Developer Forum: Day 1 Highlights on ‘Sandy Bridge’

, Sep 13th 2010 Discuss [0]

After the first day of IDF 2010 keynotes the big discussion of the day is around Intel’s latest microprocessor architecture code named ‘Sandy Bridge.’  Intel revealed more details about this new architecture today and highlighted the increased emphasis on performance in both primary CPU as well as performance around integrated graphics.

The primary performance boost of Sandy Bridge is due to its 4 cores which will be able to process 8 threads simultaneously as well as a new feature named Turbo 2.0.   In essence Turbo 2.0 is an intelligent automatic over-clocking feature which can automatically boost the core CPU performance for a short amount of time in order handle complex tasks.   This feature manages the time the boost is applied to the CPU in order to make sure it does not overheat.

Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs detailed; not backward-compatible with current motherboards

, Apr 21st 2010 Discuss [0]

Details of Intel's Sandy Bridge 32nm processors have leaked, the successors to the current Core i3 and Core i5 chips, and anyone hoping for a straightforward upgrade is out of luck.  According to documentation acquired by Bit-Tech, the new mainstream Sandy Bridge CPUs will use a new LGA1155 socket, one pin short of the existing LGA1156 sockets, and not be backward compatible.  Meanwhile Intel's Sandy Bridge "E" (apparently either "Enthusiast" or "Extreme") "Patsburg" CPUs will get a new LGA2011 socket, with plenty of extra pins for its four channel DDR3 memory controller and 32 lane PCI Express 3.0 support.
