socket 1955?

[insert]

anything more for the 1955 socket?

 

[aphexcoil]

You mean codename "Eniac?"

 

[iconiK]

I never heard of that socket.

I never heard of that socket.

Neither has Google. Searching "Intel socket 1955" brings up this thread, and nothing else.

Insert, what are you talking about?

I heard it uses vacuum tubes and the CPUs have 16bits built in delay line cache.

The upcoming intel sockets are:
LGA 1248 (itanium)
LGA 1356 (upgrade of 1366 with PCIe 3.0 and +1 mem channel, but used by sandy bridge chips, for servers.)
LGA 1567 (some xeons) and
LGA 2011 (next high end socket)

as far as I know.

The upcoming intel sockets are:

Half of them aren't upcoming.

LGA 1248 (itanium)

Already here.

LGA 1356 (upgrade of 1366 with PCIe 3.0 and +1 mem channel, but used by sandy bridge chips, for servers.)

Seems canceled, not much information about it.

LGA 1567 (some xeons)

Already here.

Why thankyou for that, I meant upcoming and recent

They're phasing out the LGA socket in favor of the BTTF 1955 socket.

lol. sorry it's socket 1155!! anything in the future for this socket?

 

[plugwash]

The mainstream ivy bridge parts will be on LGA1155 just like the mainstream sandy bridge parts are. BIOS updates are likely to be required and many vendors are already coming out with them.

Afaict intel has given no indication as to what sockets they will be using for haswell.

 

[sirmonkey1985]

haswell will depend on when its coming out.. intel's doing a new socket every 2 years plan. so by the time haswell comes out they should be on a new socket.

as far as 1155 goes the only future is ivy bridge and possibly 6 core processors like intel claims will be supported on 1155, though i'll believe that when it actually happens, doubt it will though.

We have a policy called Tick Tock in which we release a new microarchitecture every other year and then on the off years we do a die shrink. We don’t have an official policy of changing the socket every two years but with changes in technology we will do what is needed to bring you the best processors we can. We ran socket 775 for almost 5 years before moving to 1156 which unfortunately only lasted 2 years before we had to make the change to 1155. When it comes to future products lets wait and see what happens.

Good ol' 775. Too bad that just because the socket is compatible it doesn't mean the motherboards support newer or older chips than their generation; plenty of people forget that.
