LGA 2011, also known as Socket R, is an unreleased Intel CPU socket. This socket is set to supersede Intel's LGA 1366 (Socket B) in the high-end and performance desktop and market areas. This socket will have 2011 protruding pins which touch contact points on the underside of the processor.[citation needed]
Socket 2011 uses QPI to connect the CPU to either additional CPUs in a dual socket system, or to add-in chipsets. The CPU will handle northbridge functions, such as memory control, PCIe control, DMI, FDI, and other functions integrated on chip.
This socket is expected to be released alongside Sandy Bridge-EX in Q3 2011, and will support 4 memory channels as well as 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes [1]; the socket will measure 58.5mm x 51mm, and is backwards compatible with LGA 1366 cooling solutions
