Default Intel X79 Chipset


Intel X79 Enthusiast Chipset Sketched in Roadmap
Intel's next platform for enthusiasts (successor to LGA1366, X58), will consist of a 2011-pin LGA socket, the Sandy Bridge-E (enthusiast) processor that features a massive quad-channel DDR3 memory controller and 32+ lane PCI-Express 2.0 hub, and the X79 chipset. Intel is looking to skip the 6-series chipset family with its next high-end platform chipset, and perhaps it makes sense since the platform is slated for Q4 2011. The X79 is a PCH (platform controller hub), like P55 and P67, since Intel has reorganized the platform. The beefy PCI-E hub housed in the X58 northbridge is relocated to the processor die, and the southbridge is given a much needed overhaul in terms of connectivity.

The X79 is much bigger than P67 in terms of connectivity and features. Differences start right at the interconnect. While P67 connects to the processor over DMI (physical PCI-Express 2.0 x4), X79 supplements this link with an additional PCI-Express 2.0 x4 link to the processor's PCI-E hub if the user chooses so, in the EFI setup program. The chipset bus hence ends up with 8 GB/s of bandwidth, and wait till you hear what will make use of it: a 10-port SATA 6 Gb/s RAID controller integrated to the PCH! That is a huge improvement in terms of storage connectivity, which is limping with 2-port SATA 6 Gb/s (next to four 3 Gb/s ports) on 6-series chipsets.

Sounds like a monster of a platform

Better start saving now boys and girls, this will be the end all platform for the foreseab le future.

Wonder is it is going to be multi clocking or back to bclk .... Anybody know if there will be PCIe control.... ?

Supposed to be able to do both as they are adding seperate clock gens for PCIE last I heard. (Also ditching the ring bus and going back to QPI...)

I do not know for sure though.

1366 coolers are going to fit it from what I have heard, Hope so, I basically am setting up cold specifically for this platform as sandy does not seem to benfit from it and in many cases under acheives with cold .... from what I have read..

But not biggy I can make a retainer and back plate for what ever they throw at us ....

Little 16 guage metal for the back and some 1/4" plexi for the retainer ...

Prolly only take 30 minutes to make both if push comes to shove
