What Is Socket 1366? (with pictures)
`;
Socket 1366 is a central processing unit, or processor socket, that the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer, Intel Corporation, makes for three of its CPU brands: the Core i7, Celeron and Xeon. The number 1366 stands for the number of pins it possesses. Released in 2008, Socket 1366 is also known as LGA 1366 or Socket B.
A CPU.
The LGA prefix is actually an acronym used to describe its manner of integrated circuit packaging, which is called land grid array (LGA). Rather than have pin holes to accommodate the processor pins like several CPU sockets, LGA involves having the pins on the socket instead. The term grid array is used to describe the orderly arrangement of these pins in rows—as a 1.69-by-1.61-inch (43-by-41-millimeter) grid—on the socket’s square-shaped structure, with a 0.83-by-0.67-inch (21-by-17-mm) section cut off in the center. The socket itself measures 1.77 by 1.67 inches (45 by 42.4 mm).
A heatsink is the part of a computer designed to move heat away from a computer’s central processing unit.
Socket 1366 uses an LGA variant called flip-chip land grid array (FCLGA). This means that the CPU’s die, which is the wafer of semiconductor material that stores the processor’s core(s), or processing unit(s), is flipped around to expose its back. This is the hottest part of the CPU, and the exposure allows the user to introduce a heatsink, a component that cools down certain electronic components. This promotes energy efficiency and reduced probability of processor malfunction.
Intel primarily designed Socket 1366 for the Core i7, particularly the 9xx series, which it coincidentally introduced the same year.
This is currently the top-level CPU division of the company’s premier Core brand. Socket 1366, however, is also compatible with Intel’s low-end Celeron brand, thus replacing the LGA 775, or Socket T, which had been introduced for its accommodation in 2004. Socket 1366 also replaced LGA 771, or Socket J, which was released in 2006 exclusively for Xeon, Intel’s CPU brand for servers, workstations and embedded systems.
Like other CPU sockets, this 1,366-pin component is meant to connect the processor with the motherboard of a personal computer (PC) so that it can conduct data transmission. To achieve this, Socket 1366 uses Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), which Intel introduced with the socket for its Core i7-9xx series.
Similar to the HyperTransport technology of its main competitor Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Intel designed the QPI for improved data transmission over the customary front-side bus interface (FSB). The Core i7-9xx series have data transfer speeds of 4.8 or 6.4 gigatransfers per second (GT/s), which means that with the QPI, they can conduct up to 4.8 or 6.4 billion transfers per second.

Introduction
Ready or not, the age of Nehalem is finally upon us and with it comes Intel’s new Socket LGA 1366 processor interface. Socket LGA 775 has lived a long and distinguished life, longer than any other Intel processor socket to date. To put this in perspective, when LGA 775 first came on the scene we were still using Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) graphics cards.
For cooler manufacturers, Intel’s i7 couldn’t come soon enough. Since LGA 775 reigned supreme for such a long period of time, cooler sales have steadily declined. With diminishing returns on investment, funding for research and development has also dipped and without strong R&D, innovative new products come few and far between.
It was time for Intel to finally show some love to cooler manufacturers and with LGA 1366 Intel is giving out more hugs and kisses than a «provider» on Craigslist having a Saturday night special.
The official name for LGA 1366 is Socket B and it is the successor to Socket T, or what is commonly referred to as Land Grid Array (LGA) 775. Socket B is the first of a new three socket system that Intel plans to unleash on the market. LGA 1160 is slated for use in entry level systems and LGA 1567 will handle server and workstation duty. At this time little is known about LGA 1160 and 1567, but LGA 1366 samples have been in the hands of component makers since early first quarter.
The first thing you will notice about the Core i7 processor is it has more surface area than the LGA 775 processors. The new Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) is now comparable to AMD’s modern IHS size.
This will allow for processor heat to be spread across a larger area. In turn, cooler manufacturers now have more room at the base to work with. Here we see the Nexus FLC-3000 LGA 1366 cooler base.
It is still debatable at this time as to whether or not Socket B truly required a specification change and if such a change was purely to help heatsink manufacturers sell more products.
Here we see the back of an early X58 motherboard. Similar to AMD’s socket used for Opteron workstation and server processors, a metal back plate has been added to secure the processor socket to the motherboard. This will allow less motherboard flex and ultimately better processor-to-heatsink contact while reducing the risk of motherboard damage when pressure is applied.
Here we see how much larger Socket B is compared to Socket T at the motherboard mounting point. The bracket is from a Nexus FLC-3000, the first LGA 1366 cooler to hit the U.S. TweakTown Office. As you can see, this is not a significant change from the proven LGA 775 mounting system.
Off the Rack or Hand Made
For the last few months we have been talking with cooler manufacturers to get their thoughts on Socket B, products that will be available at the time of launch and of course future releases.
The general thoughts on Socket LGA 1366 varied, depending on whether I was speaking with an engineer or a marketing representative.
The engineers were very positive about being able to apply more pressure to the processor, a result from the metal back plate; but a few did not like continuation of the same base system that will require many users to pull the motherboard from the case to change cooling solutions. The marketing guys seemed to come alive when asked what they thought of the new system, for obvious reasons.
To me it really seems like Socket B has caught many manufacturers off guard. I have found that the strategy at first for many companies is to release adapter kits that allow Socket T coolers to be used on Socket B.
Noctua, a cooling company that is known for producing ultra quiet yet high performance coolers, at the time of launch falls into this category with their SecuFirm 2 mounting system. End users will be able to contact Noctua and many other cooling companies to receive adapter kits for little to no cost. Above is the Noctua i7 mounting hardware that will fit many of the popular Noctua coolers.
TweakTown’s own Cameron Wilmot spoke with Noctua about the new mounting system at Computex. You can see the news item in this post.
Danger Den and Nexus have taken a different approach and already have a large number of LGA 1366 coolers on the hands of distributers. Here we see the Danger Den MC-TDX that is listed on DangerDen.com for a reasonable 59.99.
Final Thoughts
The future looks bright for enthusiasts and cooler manufacturers. The influx of new revenue that will pour into the companies will allow for more research and new innovative products will be the result. Here we see a prototype that Noctua displayed at Computex. The design is typical Noctua, but with a twist as you can see.
We will leave the debate as to the need of a new mounting system for the guys in the forums. The fact is Socket B is already considered an improvement over Socket T and the companies will have more room to grow, even if it is just a few millimeters at a time.

Released in November 2008, LGA1366 supports only Core i7 CPU from Intel. The coolers below will not only cool Intel’s CPUs better than any stock cooler, but they will also do it very much more quietly. In terms of currently-available processors, LGA1366 has now been replaced by LGA2011.
LGA1366 motherboards and processors were officially discontinued in 2012.
As always, if you are still unsure which CPU cooler is right for you, please read our article “How do I choose a CPU cooler?” and remember to check the TDP, (i.e. its maximum heat output measured in watts) of your CPU to aid identifying a suitable cooler.
LGA1366
The table below provides information about each cooler to help you quickly identify the most suitable product for your needs. Each column can be sorted, making it easy to determine a cooler of a certain height or a specific noise level. Please note, AIO water coolers are not shown on this table due to their unique characteristics.

90,000 Core i7 processors in the LGA1366
Past and present without the future
— a future president — a future president — a future president America, three letters?
— No
— What is «no»?
– America has no future
© Comedy Club
Humorists, and writers in general, tend to love hyperbole, as in this case. No one, I think, will argue with the fact that America certainly has a future. But for Core i7 processors in the current design, alas, it is not visible. A temporary solution, “pulled out” to the market due to a contradiction between the promises of PR people and the real work of engineers (they promised to show Nehalem to the world at the end of 2008, but they didn’t have time to finish it either in the server or desktop version by that time), for a long time unable to live. Yes, and his past was bright, but short enough — the first processors of the family with indices 920, 940 and 965 (the last digit «5» in this family does not mean any cuts, but, on the contrary, extreme modifications) entered the market in November 2008. And for half a year they were the only processors with the Nehalem architecture on sale, since Xeon on this core was finally «brought to mind» only in March 2009. By the way, the processors of the 5500 series fundamentally differ from the i7 in only two, not one QPI link, and the north bridges of the i5520 and X58 are exactly in the same position relative to each other, so it’s easy to guess what exactly went wrong with Intel last year.
Well, yes — the QPI bus is a new development. Fundamentally similar to some solutions already existing on the market, but significantly faster than all of them. In general, it is not surprising that in the «double» version it was possible to debug it half a year later than in the «single» one. Selling the Xeon 3500 family alone did not seem like the right decision — now these processors exist as “poor relatives” of the Xeon 5500, which is why they don’t raise questions, but a simple release of a fundamentally single-socket Xeon family would have caused them.
Quite a bit of time passed, and the Core i7 family was upgraded — in the original modification, it had already ceased to suit the manufacturer. First, there were Xeons, which instantly pulled over the demand of workstation manufacturers. Secondly (which is more important for the broad masses of workers), the performance of the processors of the “outdated” Core 2 family has also increased — the Core 2 Quad Q9650 (with a clock frequency of 3. 0 GHz) and Core 2 Duo E8600/E7600 (3.33 GHz). Of course, they are not full-fledged competitors to the Core i7, but in some cases they are able to compete with the younger model of the family, while allowing you to keep the cost of the entire system at a low level. And there is less and less time left before the debut of processors in the LGA1156 design, namely, they will be able to successfully close the medium and high performance segment for reasonable money, leaving only top-end systems to the lot of the current Core i7 with the LGA1366 socket. Buyers of the latter, for obvious reasons, should get really the best for their money, and not almost the best. Therefore, the company made a small castling, replacing 940 for 950, and 965 for 975. The clock frequency has grown by 133 MHz, but the price has not changed. The older non-extreme Core 2 Quad, let me remind you, has a frequency of 3 GHz, and the older Lynnfield model (which, despite a different socket, judging by the latest information, will also belong to the Core i7 family) will work at 2.
93 GHz for the first time, i.e. e. The Core i7 950 with its official 3.06 GHz (actually a little higher, but we’ll talk about this in detail a little later) looks much more advantageous in all respects (even for a megahertz buyer) than the Core i7 940. What about 920? Formally, this processor will continue to be produced and sold for some time, it was even transferred to a new stepping, but … The Moor has already done its job 🙂 As long as the company still needs it, immediately after the appearance of “truly folk non-chalems” it will cease to be such. However, even now it is worth thinking about whether to pay these same three hundred dollars of the difference in price between 920 and 950, having received a noticeably more productive processor. After all, the strength of this platform still manifests itself in conditions when all other components will require you not to save on themselves 🙂
So, today the line has five processors, two of which are still on sale, but will soon disappear from it. Another one over time, most likely, too. Moreover, rumors are circulating more and more stubbornly that the Core i7 950 will also not survive until the end of the year: it will still be replaced by 960 (identical in clock frequency to the former extreme 965, but not amenable to fine tuning). But we decided to test all the current five according to the new version of the methodology — in order to evaluate the increase that new models give relative to old ones, and in general: these results will be useful to us more than once for comparison with other Intel processors and competitors. But first, let’s try to figure it out — at what frequency does actually work processors of the Core i7 family?
Turbo throttling
A somewhat unexpected and provocative title. However, the essence of the question under study is even more provocative: is the proprietary Turbo Boost technology a cynical version of throttling? The question is natural — after all, any phenomenon can be looked at from different angles. For example, consider that the frequency increases when possible, or vice versa — decreases when necessary. If we consider the official clock frequency of the processors of the family as their main frequency, then the first is true. But is this assumption justified?
Let’s remember what throttling is initially. In the Pentium 4, this is a mechanism that forces the processor to insert idle cycles when the critical temperature is reached. The effective clock frequency is reduced, as well as heat dissipation, so that even in «bad» conditions, we keep the temperature within safe limits. The mechanism is crude, but easily implemented and quite effective. Now it is no longer used, despite the fact that its support in processors has been preserved. The fact is that both companies (both Intel and AMD), as technical progress has mastered a much more beautiful and efficient mechanism for managing energy savings. Here the multiplication factor (and the clock frequency, therefore), as well as the supply voltage, are already really changing, which allows both saving energy in idle time and very effectively dealing with overheating. Support for EIST or Cool’n’Quiet is available in any modern processor, which has made the original throttling mechanism obsolete.
There is support for EIST in Core i7, and it differs from previous Intel developments only in that it can not only reduce the frequency, but also increase it. Initially, the only thing known about Turbo Boost was that it exists, and it works when the processor’s power consumption is within the limits set by the company, which were not disclosed 🙂 It was believed that the clock frequency strongly depends on the workload of the cores. Those. all four cores are busy with us — the frequency will be equal to the nominal one, two or three — it will be increased by 133 MHz, and only one — by 266 MHz. The reality turned out to be much more interesting.
First of all, the frequency rises even when all four cores are loaded with work. In this case — by one step of the multiplier, in all the rest — by two. So, at the same time, it is recommended that fans of overclocking the processor over the bus be careful — you can get very interesting effects: when an already overclocked processor under load tries to add another megahertz like 400 🙂 Of course, nothing good can come of this, so fans It is better to simply turn off the newfangled technology of the old “head-on” overclocking method. But buyers of extreme versions of processors, initially positioned as a true friend of an inquisitive enthusiast user, allow overclocking to be approached in a more subtle way. Firstly, they can be overclocked without increasing the reference frequency, so the increase from Turbo Boost is also limited. Second, it’s not required. Moreover, in the latest BIOS versions for our test motherboard, Intel removed the possibility of increasing the «normal mode» multiplier when the boost is enabled. But instead, you can flexibly adjust the size of the increase — just select the multipliers for the case of loading one, two, three or four cores. Why these are different situations is understandable: in the presence of idle functional elements, they do not contribute to heat release, but they participate in the distribution and removal of heat. So you can leave the «base» multiplier the same as before, but increase the boost factors. And, at the same time, consider the same 965 processor as a quad-core processor at 3.
7 GHz (set a multiplier of 28), dual-triple core at 3.85 (29) or single-core at 4 GHz (30). At the same time, all energy-saving and overheating protection mechanisms will continue to work in a normal regular way.
In what cases does the mechanism for increasing the clock frequency actually work? There are two more options. All processors have them, but only extreme editions can change them. These are the maximum power consumption of «turbo mode» and «regular maximum». The second is just the “table” TDP Core i7 and it is equal to 130 watts. Above this limit, the mechanisms of protection against «overheating» are activated. Although no one prevents a person who is confident in the quality of the cooling system used from raising the throttling threshold, for example, to 150 watts. And even up to 200 W — for example, in order to set another record in benching. More unpleasant news for lovers of these same records — without increasing the specified parameter, it is no longer possible to reach them! This is in the processors of the previous generation, only one of the parameters was controlled, namely the temperature (and in the forehead: overheating — throttling) — now the PCU always monitors the current consumed by each core. Well, according to the temperature and current strength, the frequency and supply voltage, again, of each core are regulated. That is, in simple words, before it was enough just to cool the processor well in order to overclock it better, but now we have practically no chance to go beyond the “thermal package”. The power of the electric current is equal to the product of the current strength and voltage, therefore, if you try to exceed the limit value (which is accompanied by an increase in current strength), the voltage will be reduced. As a result, in order to maintain stability, it will be necessary to reduce the multiplication factor, i.e. core frequency. The circuit is excellent for the regular operating modes of the processor, the circuit allows you to work even when trying to “drive” the processor into an idiotic mode, but it hits hard on those users who need the latter, because overclocking will accelerate, but will not work faster.
This is about the operation of the processor in the «normal» mode, but after all, Turbo Boost support is no different from it! The upper threshold in this case is the value of 110 W, which is rigidly fixed for «mass» models and adjustable for extreme editions. For example, we can set both thresholds to the same value (the same 130 or 150 W). What is the result? Turbo Boost will always be on! Until we reach the threshold level of power consumption, at which we begin to reduce the frequency in order to cool down. However, in the «normal» mode, the processor will stop working altogether. Yes, and without any settings, he rarely does this — the range of 110-130 W is much narrower than the «normal» 50-90 W. Moreover, I note that it is usually necessary to warm up processors by more than 100 W with special software tools. During normal operation, they do not reach this point. Thus, during normal use, the base frequency of Core i7 processors can be considered the boost frequency, but not the regular mode. But it is already a special case of the work of «thermal protection» — when the first threshold is exceeded, it turns on. It’s just that Core 2 has one threshold, while Core i7 and the new Xeon have two. And in Core 2, power consumption was controlled only by indirect signs (namely, by temperature), while in Nehalem architecture processors it is measured and regulated directly.
In general, this is no longer “thermal protection”, but really full-fledged management of both power and clock speed.
How do you rate this? It can be done in two ways 🙂 Either as an excellent engineering solution, which is a significant step forward, or, indeed, as a cynical version of throttling, as well as barriers to «improving» performance by «overclocking». It is up to everyone to choose for himself which definition he likes best. We are the first. However, the fact that thanks to such mechanisms it is impossible to determine at what frequency the Core i7 or the new Xeon operates does not cancel this. We can measure the instantaneous clock frequency at any time (the only problem is that all software methods of measuring it usually contribute to the processor load, so they give a certain error). We know the so-called «base» frequency of the processor specified in the user manual. We know the starting frequency of operation, selected using the multiplication factor for the «non-turbo» mode. We also know the maximum clock speed of a single core. But here we cannot “guess” the clock frequency of each of the cores at an arbitrary moment in time. To do this, we will have to know both the maximum and starting frequencies of operation, as well as the size and nature of the computational load. Simply because the real clock frequency now depends on them, and it can either decrease relative to the starting one or increase it. The decrease (in idle time or, conversely, during overheating) was before, the increase has appeared now. It may very well be that it was the work on «advanced» power consumption management schemes, and not the discrediting of high clock frequencies by the NetBurst family, that prompted the idea to abandon the marking of processors with a frequency. Because… and who knows what it is 🙂 For Pentium III or old Pentium 4, the clock frequency was really a clear physical parameter, then they began to control it downwards, eventually reaching the point that different functional elements of the processor work with different frequencies, also changing them during operation.
Core i7920 is simple and unambiguous, but the name “Core i7 2660” no longer characterizes the processor in the right way: most of the time it is “Core i7 2800”, or even all 2.93. But after the release of processors in the LGA 1156 construct, we are generally promised the possibility of increasing the clock frequency not by one or two steps, but up to five, after which the situation will become even more complicated.
By the way, one myth about new processors… There is an opinion that they are «fast», and therefore «hot». An attentive reader must have already understood that the opposite is true — the cause and effect in this case are reversed 🙂 Core i7 are “fast” because they are “hot”. Indeed, with such a power management scheme, there was no difficulty in keeping within a smaller thermal package. For example, at 110 W, to which the frequency is still increasing. But this was not done just in order for the i7 LGA1366 to demonstrate the highest possible performance. Xeon is not just «colder» — under heavy load, they can be slower. Because if the load is so high that the processor starts consuming 95 W of energy, then the Xeon X55x0 series will already start to reduce the frequency relative to, even, the base one, but the Core i7 or Xeon 3500 will still increase it, i.e. two processors with different nominal frequencies will work under the same conditions on different physical ones. The same can be said about the new Core i7 LGA1156: they will learn to increase the clock frequency more aggressively at medium and relatively high loads, but at “too large” they will have to fit into a 95 W thermal package with all the consequences. And the only thing that prevents the current i7 from demonstrating such superiority over its “colleagues” everywhere is, perhaps, only that on “real” applications to “warm up” the processor even up to 90 W is not so easy.
And the last interesting information from the life of processors (I understand that the introduction is somehow delayed, but please be patient — testing today will be a little boring) concerns statements that the PCU mechanisms are platform-independent. Those. that Turbo Boost, that protection against excessive power consumption are fully implemented in hardware in the processor. This is what has always been considered as the main difference from AMD processors, where there is also a separate control of the supply voltage and frequency of the cores, taking into account the current strength, and the ability to increase the multiplier dynamically during operation … Only the first (Cool’n’Quiet 2.0) works in interaction with the power converter on the system board, and the second is generally provided at a fairly high level — by software. So, is it true that everything at Intel is determined only by the processor, we can’t give an unequivocal answer yet, but there is some information for reflection 🙂 The fact is that if, after the “normal” processor, without resetting the CMOS, we install an extreme series device … we will get absolutely the same the same settings that were true for the previous crystal. Thus, for example, we have established an interesting fact from the life of Xeon: for these processors, the “boost ceiling” is equal to the TDP of the previous, colder subfamily.
Those. in the X-series, the values \u200b\u200bof 80/9 are “protected”5, and in E55x0 — 60/80. But this is not the main thing — the main thing is that the “energy protection” parameters (it is probably more correct to introduce such a term in relation to this family of processors, instead of the already inadequate essence of the name “thermal protection”) can not only be configured for some processors: they are also stored by the motherboard itself and are changed to «default» for the processor only when the previously set ones do not fit. Whether this is a confirmation of the fact that in Intel processors it is not about something hidden inside the crystal, but about the “board-processor” interaction, judge for yourself.
222 (*) when the Turbo Boost «auto-overclocking» function is enabled (which is implied by default), the actual frequency of individual cores increases relative to the nominal value by 133-266 MHz, depending on the load
(**) the maximum frequency officially supported by the memory controller in the processor
(***) Unlocked to be user boostable when overclocked 9-9-9-24 versus 8-8-8-19. The previously used Corsar modules used the 8-8-8-24 scheme in both modes, which obviously gave a great advantage to processors that work with memory like DDR3 1333. Let’s see if the advantage is retained when installing cheaper mainstream modules, because there should be in the process of testing at least something interesting (otherwise it would simply degenerate into the study of five identical processors that differ only in the core clock speed).
Testing
The performance testing methodology (list of software used and testing conditions) is described in detail in the article. For ease of perception, the results on the diagrams are presented as a percentage (the result of Intel Core 2 Quad Q9 is taken as 100%300 in each of the tests). Detailed results in absolute terms are available as a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel format.
3D visualization
This type of task is still cool to the high number of cores, memory bandwidth and other improvements of modern processors. The result is obvious — the top Intel desktop processor outperforms the mid-range model from the previous family by only 40% with a multiple price difference, and the younger Core i7 is only 10% in general (however, the results in all tests, and not only in this one, suggest on the thought that not everything is going smoothly with our sample 920 from the very first pre-sale lots, but within the limits of five percent). In fact, we see an increase proportional to the base clock frequency of the core, and it does not matter which core in this case. I also note that the use of memory in the normal mode did nothing for extreme models of processors and, on the contrary, led them to lose in some subtests. Thus, even with the possibility of a choice, it always makes sense to think about why it should be done — a higher frequency or lower relative timings.
Rendering 3D scenes
It’s not for nothing that we separated the interactive part from the computational part — now it’s clear why new processors are needed. Even the Core i7 920 in computational tasks costs the average of the previous family one and a half times, and the Extreme 975 was just a little short to beat the latter twice! Of course, if the «colors» of Core 2 were protected by the Q9650 or, even more so, the Q9770, the increase would be more modest, but so far these processors have not been tested using the new method. And it is obvious that the situation would not fundamentally change — it will not be possible to “win back” 50% within the framework of one family even by increasing the clock frequency by the same 50%, but this is not the case either. All in all, the Core i7 is an excellent compute processor in every way. Whether in a single computer or in a cluster node, it doesn’t matter. Dual processor Xeon systems will be even better, but they are also more expensive.
Scientific and engineering calculations
These applications are more conservative, but the current Core i7 family has good results. As expected 🙂
Raster graphics
Data compression
Three behaviorally similar groups. What do they have in common? The applications included in them often do not know how to use multiprocessing (limiting themselves to two or even one thread), sometimes they are undemanding to the memory subsystem, and so on and so forth. As a result, the processors of the Core i7 line, of course, justify their top status, but nothing more. The «wow factor» when looking at their results doesn’t work.
Compilation (VC++)
Interpretation (Java)
Audio encoding
Video encoding
And things are quite different when the work manages to load the maximum number of processor cores to the greatest extent. Roughly speaking, give the processor the opportunity to grind numbers and other symbols without looking back at anyone, and it will show itself. These abilities are best manifested where there is something to “thresh”, well, do not forget that the same video codecs are an example of fairly quickly updated software. So everywhere the picture is simple and obvious.
Gaming 3D
Testing processors in games is a difficult task already at the stage of setting it up 🙂 There is always a temptation to try to get the most dependent situation on the test object, so that the numbers look most impressive. Alas, it is beautiful, but absolutely useless. If we bring the settings and the characteristics of the video system closer to reality, then the top models of processors will become almost indistinguishable from each other. But we consider this evil to be the least, which is why such a very even picture. Another confirmation of the more than once declared fact that performance in modern games is most dependent on the video card. But it still depends on the processor, especially if you take a good video card, and among single-chip solutions we use one of the most powerful at the moment. Although it is obvious that gamers can achieve some fundamental growth in today’s conditions only by switching to multi-GPU, with all the pros and cons of this approach.
Total
We tried to achieve at least some intrigue in the tests by choosing different memory modes — we got the absence of dependence on this parameter within the test conditions. The only result that stands out from the general series is the Core i7 920, although it doesn’t stand out so drastically. The rest of the processors naturally lined up in a line according to the range of the base clock frequency, since they regulate it in the same way, and none of our tests are capable of overheating. In any case, none of the processors in this line — the manufacturer left too much stock, so even the «first ceiling» can be reached only in a special way. Otherwise, everything is obvious, since only Extreme 9 was a newcomer to our testing.75, which differs from its predecessor by only one multiplier step, which is not important.
In the following articles on Intel processors, we will expand and deepen our knowledge. In both directions — both Xeon (in single- and dual-processor configurations) and Core 2, which are still very popular. And there, you see, the debut of LGA1156 will finally take place. So the results obtained today will come in handy more than once. At least for a rough estimate — just remember for the future that the Core i7 family covers the performance range from 130 to 170 points of the new technique. It will be interesting to see how this domain overlaps with other processor families.

LGA1366 (Socket B)
LGA1366 (or Socket B ) — connector for connecting Nehalem architecture Intel processors (Bloomfield, Westmere, Gulftown, Jasper Forest cores) to the motherboard. Designed for high performance desktops, workstations and server systems.
Released with Nehalem processors in 2008 to replace LGA775 sockets (in the desktop segment) and LGA771 (in the server segment). Support for LGA1366 has already been dropped. It was replaced in 2011 by Socket R (LGA2011).
The socket is made in the LGA format, that is, it is a connector with spring-loaded contacts, to which the processor is pressed with its pads. The number of contacts is 1366. The physical dimensions of the connector are 45 x 42.5 mm.
The processors installed in the LGA1366 are not equipped with an integrated graphics core, have up to 6 processing cores, an integrated memory controller (3 DDR3 channels), and a three-level cache memory. Most models have support for multithreading (Hyper Treading), as well as automatic overclocking technology (Turbo Boost).
Another innovation in the Nehalem architecture processors is that all of their processing cores are located on a single silicon chip, unlike older multi-core processors (Presler, Yorkfield), whose quad-core models consisted of 2 dies with 2 cores each.
Instead of the previously used FSB, the processor communicates with the chipset using a faster QPI bus ( QuickPath Interconnect ) with a speed of up to 6.4 GT / s (gigatransactions per second) in each direction, which corresponds to 12.8 GB / s. At the same time, server processors can use multiple QPI buses, which allows them to interact with additional processors in multiprocessor systems.
LGA1366 socket motherboards use Intel Tylersburg chipsets. At the same time, chipset 9 is intended for desktop computers.0730 Intel X58 (Core i7 processors), for servers and workstations — chipsets Intel 5500 , Intel 5520 (Xeon processors).
