en.hw-lab.com Intel Sandy Bridge. Expansion
Were are waiting for another update form Intel which will take place in 2011 — Sandy Bridge processors. The first encounter — expansion.
In addition, a number of key changes in the micro-architecture, new AVX technology, Turbo Boost 2.0 — give full right for Sandy Bridge to be called 2nd generation of Core processors. There will be several articles dedicated to these processors, meanwhile here is the first encounter — expansion.
Sandy Bridge based systems with LGA 1155 socket are not meant to compete with high-end solutions, like 6-core Intel Gulftown processors, but will be positioned in the segment below. We tried to picture Intel plans for the next year regarding new Desktop processor in the following table:

In the second half of the year 2011 Nehalem processors with its Socket 1336 will be replaced with 6-core (or even more core-d) Sandy Bridge products with LGA-2011 Socket and Quad-channel memory controller. First Sandy Bridge processors on LGA 1155 Socket with dual-channel memory controller will start selling from 9th of January 2011. They are the one to discussed first.
