Every time a new core logic designed, despite the differences that exist between Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, it seems both are equally committed to continue supporting the kinds of chips that advance existing or old.
It certainly would not apply to the latest consumer platform that supports only 1155 units of the LGA. While the latest X79 core logic itself seems capable of supporting the existence of the chip.
The new platform is compatible with the units of the LGA 2011. But the LGA 1366 processors of the various possibilities can now be used with the new chipset.
According to X-bit Labs, Santa Clara, California-based CPU maker is also reportedly been planning the production of a number of motherboards that is DX79SI (Siler) and DX79TO (Thorsby).
For the motherboard DX79TO (LGA 1366) is equipped with features support for DDR3 RAM (random access memory) is a fast, two PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (for add-in graphics cards) and 8 SATA ports, plus a 6-channel audio, Gigabit Ethernet, a pair USB 3.0 and all the connectivity and I / O expected more.
Meanwhile, the motherboard DX79SI (LGA 2011) will have three PCI Express x16 connector, 12 port Serial ATA, four USB 3.0 ports, up to eight DIMM RAM slots (up to 64 GB of memory) and 8-channel audio, plus 14 USB 2.0 connectors, WiFi / Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet and all other common elements of a mainboard.
One feature that eliminated the legacy of both the motherboard is the connectivity PS / 2. And heritage features are typically used by a regular keyboard and mouse.
Two motherboards with the same chipset but different socket may look awkward. On the one hand the existence of intel x79 chipset can support the existence of LGA1366 and LGA2011 CPU, but on the other hand, reportedly also could complicate the presence of units of AMD's FX Series Zambezi / Bulldozer.
