When do you expect 2011 socket?

Only references I've seen mention 2H of 2011. Does that likely mean late summer or Christmas?
 
That means anytime in the 2nd half of the year. Closer we get to summer the more precise the date will be. But then again i don't know what's going on now as there's talks of LGA1356 (Scoket B2) being the replacement for LGA1366. I'm not sure, could be true, could be false, Wiki could've fudged up i don't know. Where would that leave LGA2011? A server socket?

No date has been announced yet. Anand mentioned Q4 earlier this month, most other sources for the past 10 months list Q3. Mid- to late-September is generally a time when Intel does launch new products. It coincides with Fall IDF. You'll know months in advance if that is the launch date.

I'm assuming LGA 2011 is still 8 months or so away. If it comes earlier, great. A little later? Whatever. ;)
 
I personally wouldn't mind a later release date, gives me more time to gather up money for a nice upgrade. ;)

At any rate, Q3/Q4 seems to be the consensus at the moment.
 
I'm hoping for Q3 or Q4. But I've read articles saying Q1 of 2012. To tell you the truth at this point I say Q1 of 2012, but I hope its sooner.
 
Q1 will probably be some form of ivy bridge. I mean 22nm. Although if they release lga2011 in Q4 I do not see the first chips being lga2011 unless this allows then to release 8+ core chips.

Edit: Q1 2012 will be ivy bridge obviously not Q1 2011. Although I do not think anyone would quote me wrong on that one..

i personally expect it next january, it would be great if it came in november, that would make x58 3 years old and then i can ditch it for an upgrade!
 
Q4 would be an excellent time to launch it IMO, but knowing intel they will end up pushing it back to Q1 2012.
 
has there been any leaked news whether the first processors for 2011 are 32nm or 22nm?

The new processors (ivy bridge) are 22nm. Also do you guys think there will be new videocards coming out as well when Ivy Bridge hits the market? I'm assuming there will be considering it will either almost be or be a full year from now when the new processors get released.

thats kinda depressing

so 22nm processors will only be ivy bridge

since thats settled, next question

will x68/x78 provide us with native usb 3.0 and sata 6.0gbs?

The 6 series already supports SATA 6Gbps. http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/324645.pdf

The news today is that Panther Point, the 7 series chipset, will get USB 3.0 next year with Ivy Bridge. The 6 series has 8 PCIe x1 lanes avalable (in x1 and x4 configurations), so the "non-native" solutions in the meantime are fine at full bandwidth if you don't need more than one device per included controller (most SB boards have 2 USB 3.0 controllers). For most devices, you wouldn't notice any slowdown with 2 devices per controller.
 
Q3 Sampling, Q4 mass production for the LGA 2011 Xeons, uniprocessor systems will probably arrive at the same time.

Q3 Sampling
Click to expand...
Even the 8 core (16t) version has been sampling for a while now. 22nm samples of Ivy Bridge are already being tested. :p

Intel's wide lead gives it the luxury of time to tweak and re-tweak before an orderly release. For example, Sandy Bridge was released as an A6 stepping. A2 silicon seemed to be doing fine 9 months ago.

lol above @ someone who has pushed it into 2012. July, August and September are all somewhat common Q3 release dates from prior launches. Q4 isn't a usual launch period for a new product line.
 
The infamous "When it's ready" comes to mind.

I can't wait to see what Sandy Bridge E brings to the table as the 1155 chips have proved worthy thus far.
 
I'm worried that the ivy bridge die shrink will end up being something like 18 months out rather then 12 months, that they won't be in any hurry with it. Really want to wait for the die shrink to upgrade from my busted up old sandy rig.
 
this is going to be one long year before that comes out. by the end of this year 7XXX 6XX GPU's will be out and in july D3 hopeully this year would be a good year to throw all this stuff out before 2012
 
When Bulldozer releases. :) Intel has their own resources. Even if its ready early, they will wait on Bulldozer. tick tock tick tock tick tock.......

I think G34 based Bulldozer is still due 3-5months before LGA2011.
 
I don't understand the enthusiasm to the LGA2011. Isn't IvyBridge LGA1155? Seems to me that LGA2011 is just a server chip socket, why would they release IvyBridge after LGA2011 with a LGA1155 socket if LGA2011 had a future for desktops?

Guess what I am saying is why would one want a LGA2011 if it isn't the socket used on the next gen IvyBridge?
 
Socket 2011 is replacement for 1366. Ivy Bridge LGA 2011, aka X68, aka P77 right?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

As pointed out in every LGA 2011 thread, the first LGA 2011 processor is Sandy Bridge E. :p

The Patsburg chipset (LGA 2011) doesn't have an official name yet. It's being called the "X68" by others right now, but since the LGA 1155 will have Z68 soon, maybe Intel will change the high end designation this time.

Supposedly Patsburg will be the single chipset for high end desktop and 1P/2P workstation/servers (individual models differentiated by features). So the desktop may get an official server chipset name like "Intel 4000x" (1p) or "Intel 6000x" (2p), where x is a particular featureset, and possibly a "friendly" platform name? Just my guess.
 
I wonder if socket 2011 will have the same mounting holes as lga1366. I'm thinking about buying a Hyper 212 for my pentium D (since I cant get it under 68C full load) and I want to be able to use that heatsink on my new Ivy Bridge setup next year. I know my Pentium D is lga775, but the HSF is compatible with 1366,1155,1156 and 775.

Any of you guys know anything about specific model numbers, or specs, or :eek: pricing?

Ive been google searching everything about the new LGA2011 socket and Ivy Bridge processors for the last 2 weeks. I havn't found anything on pricing, models or specs. Only thing I have sort of found out is the Ivy Bridge is backwards compatible with Sandy Bridge motherboards, but they can't handle it and Sandy Bridge processors can be used with the new socket. I hope they aren't priced to terribly high.

Not yet. The only thing you can assume is that LGA2011 SB chips will be faster than LGA1155 chips, and possibly with higher TDPs to push the clock speeds and core counts up.
 
I hope socket 2011 will come out later this year, because I'm an upgrade freak and the idea of having quad channel RAM sounds sweet, and hopefully high end boards will have 8 DIMM slots.

I love upgrading too but unfortunately I never have the money to upgrade, but now that I see this coming out I'm hoping work will enable me to get an Ivy Bridge processor. I'm hoping the Ivy Bridge will appear in Q3 or Q4.

I was using info for Xeon boards, maybe the uniprocessor version will hit first by a few months.
