Intel plan a New socket to replace LGA1366 in the Q3 2011 and may be a new X68 chipset as described in the bit-tech.net web site:

"Our sources in Taiwan also told us that the new chipset that will accompany this socket - inevitably being called "X68", although this is far from being an official name - will feature four DDR3 DIMM channels. It will only support one DIMM per channel as this maximises memory bandwidth, but memory density will be overall lower than current LGA1366, Core i7 systems as there will only be four sockets versus the six you see on current X58 boards. The chipset will include more PCI-E lanes of some description, either 2.0 or 3.0. "

Please give more updated infos is it Q3 2011 or Q2

is it for the hexa core only becuase intel will release a i7 970 for x58 this year usd 562 so its safe to assume

next year there wont be any quads for usd 562 or usd 1000 as X platforms is for the enthusiast and xtremists i think
x68 will be for the 6 cores only there might be a usd 278 6 core from intel when x68 releases who knows hmm.gif

share all your updated infos

Officially its Q3 for now, but thats 1 year away, and usually things will get delay and plans change.

Right now Intel isn't facing any competition in terms of performance for their x58 platform, so there's little reason for Intel to rush things

i think it will only be for 6 cores at usd 562and usd 1000
and mobo price initially will be usd 300

6 core for extremist 4 cores for performance others are value and mainstream

Intel's next-generation Westmere-EX processors may come equipped with ten physical cores if a paper due to be presented later this year proves accurate.

According to iTWorld Intel's paper, due to be presented at the Hot Chips conference in August, is entitled "Westmere-EX: A 20 Thread Server CPU," and while the contents of the paper are as-yet unknown, Intel's Hyper-Threading technology usually results in twice the number of logical cores as physical cores - meaning Westmere-EX looks set to feature ten cores.

Although neither confirmed nor denied by Intel, it seems likely that the company will be planning to increase the number of cores available in its server processors in order to compete with rival AMD - and with AMD already releasing a product featuring twelve physical cores and support for up to four such processors in a single, 48-core server, Intel clearly has some catching up to do when it comes to core count per socket.

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2010...ture-10-cores/1

So 20 threads - 10 physical cores brows.gif brows.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif
