Has anyone heard what the extra 197 pins do in LGA 775 over Socket 478? Is it more power + grounding, addressing for the i64, or something else we dont know about?
 
Probably also provisions for an onboard memory controller , if they are smart. I assume that most of the additional contacts are in reserved status at this point...
 
That sounds about right.... I have a feeling they're gonna be back up around 1.5V once they get to the 4GHz mark. But I think it will also let them go out to 64bit while keeping the same processor layout.
