anyone got a link for the intel cpu roadmap for 2010/11?
 
bestest, hugest unofficial roadmap
BIG version

Been a while since anything got me interested, nehalem did it, westmere was expected to but basically fell flat to me. Sandy Bidge, however...yum.

Since I love charts, I did some work with the ones from the article. Prices are from yesterday on newegg, like 10 minutes after the article went live. I suspect the i7-950 is supposed to be the i7-930, significantly cheaper and sitting in about the same spot as the rest of that box.

The 950 has since dropped to the same ≈$300 price point as the rest of that box, so ignore the $570 number.
 
thanks.. tough choice for me. I just don't think that having 2 PCI Express 2.0 slots running at x8 is going to be good enough futureproofing to keep me satisfied with a build I'd like to keep for 3 years. Video card bandwidth is increasing at a fairly steady rate and two GTX 480s already come pretty close to exhausting x8 slots.. may have to wait for socket 2011.

In the meantime, my old socket 775 system running a Q6600 at 3.6 is chugging along fine.

coming to a two thousand and eleven pin socket in the second half of next year. Or *maybe* to s1155 if llano pulls a miracle out of the hat.

And AFAIK nothing comes close to saturating PCI-E 2.0 x8 slots for graphics, yet.
 
Maybe PCI 2.0 4X but even then it's hardly noticable. I tried the GTX480 in that slot and still got very smooth performance.
 
looks like there will definately be 1 more round of processors for the 1366 socket
hopefully 2 ... never know

whilst im glad i got onto the i7 when i did; im unsure if i could recommend some do the same now considering whats around the corner

but having said that, the 1366 socket should hold its own for another 2 years (+ the compulsory cpu/gpu upgrades) before really showing its age and by that stage i maybe lucky enough to skip a socket and save some money (but i doubt it)

Only where are the 6-core CPUs?

They're coming out in 11Q3 on the LGA2011 socket. Nehalem needs 1 channel of DDR3 per 2 cores to avoid bottlenecking; and while LGA1155 will support faster DDR3 the CPUs are faster too so that's more or less a wash. I'm doubtful that we'll see 6 core parts on that socket ever. Haswell will probably need DDR4 to keep memory bandwidth up at a reasonable cost for mainstream systems.
