The architechture. Take a look at the diagrams included on their homepage.

P45 (FSB):
http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chip...45-overview.htm

P55 (DMI):
http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chip...55-overview.htm

X58 (QPI):
http://www.intel.com/Products/Desktop/Chip...58-overview.htm

One byte is equivalent to 8 bits. I think there are some typo errors for X58 DDR3 diagram. Should be big B(byte) instead of small b(bit).

thanks. i read tis before. I wanna know QPI is better than DMI? or vice versa and why.


Added on March 11, 2010, 7:10 pmi know hardware combination is different

i.e P55 don need ich10

but

wat is QPI limitation and also DMI limitation?

(DMI) was the link between the NB and SB on the old boards, so it did not need to be very fast. QPI on the X58 does everything, so it must be much faster (on 1156, PCI-E lanes go directly from CPU to video cards).

The "lack" of speed compared to the QPI is just okay since the DMI connect's the "low speed devices" from the p55 chip to the CPU... ^-^

from wat i search, CPU i5i7(1156) is using DMI while i7(1366) is using QPI.

If i5(1156) DMI speed is similar to i7(1366) QPI, is there any different?

i7 LGA1366 has memory controller integrated on it. This setup reduces the latency.

Result from google as well:

Actually they work the same except the DMI has a build-in PCIE controller, meaning that the PCIE lanes for dual card setup are split automatically into 8/8 lanes instead of full 16/16 lanes on a x58 aka P55 is bad for SLI/CF

that means i5 750(1156) and i7 920(1366) are same in "speed" if the value ram and single card is used for both setup ?

simulation in specific. Process a bunch of data to get the result. Nothing to do with graphic or 3d. Thanks

for that kind of task i think 8 processing thread(the 920) should be faster than 4 processing threads(the 750) provided the application is optimise for multithreaded operation.

i7 920 X58 has higher mem bandwidth with triple channel
i7 920 is faster than i5 750 in whatever occasion.
