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 LGA775 introduced in 2003 will have lived long time compared to AMD's Socket 754, 939, AM2 and in 2008 AM3... :rolleyes:

AMD's Socket 939 was the only socket which was really worth anything, the others are just useless until better processors come out, but those sockets are already being phased out, or being planned to. Socket 754 lived a short life.

Do you know that the Socket 939 as go out in 2004 and will stop producing the 31 December 2006?

Socket 754 as started in 2003 and still in production of Semprons.

Socket 775 is since 2004 and will end in 2008 or 2009.

Who is the most useless now for supporting Value, mainstream, high-end and Flagship CPUs?

Yeah, but Intel makes up for it with all those chipset revisions. Just a different variation on the horse and carrot IMO.

Well, we can't stop the evolution...

But you know, maybe you needed to change motherboard, but the CPU support is there, the actual King for the Conroe board, the P5W DH Deluxe, support all LGA775 cpus from the first series of Pentium 4 5xx. So, if you have a old CPU, you can change your motherboard without the cost of a new CPU in same time. Kinda more useful.

the race between Intel and AMD is like kicking a can down the road... each company will over take one another and then come to a rolling stop, only for the other company to over take it. then once again, another big kick to eventually come to a rolling stop.

Intel is jumping ahead of AMD right now with the Core 2 Duo, and now this... But watch out Intel, AMD has another kick behinds it's can, ready to over take Intel with it's AM3

yeah, but keep in mind that all socket 939 MB supported ALL 939 processors with no problems. So while it might be nice to have a new MB that supports an older processor, it'd be even better if I can just swap the processor.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
