Intel's X79 is the new high end chipset for Sandy Bridge E
Three generations the same patterns and now this, but we are already there from the P67 chipset used to want to dance now somewhat out of line. As can be seen now to a study published by Chinese colleagues chipset roadmap, Intel is the new high end chipset for the Sandy Bridge processor runs E has more or less burg in the name X79 Pats get.
Raises the question: Why this name? Theoretically, he would have been baptized X68 or X69, but apparently, Intel was the likelihood of confusion with the still relatively new Z68 chipset too large. Nevertheless suggests the 70 that already Patsburg a new chipset for the 22 nanometer processors would be Ivy Bridge.
Nevertheless, the X79 comes Sandy Bridge E on the base 2011th It is also noted, however, very strongly that these are, in principle, a server chip set, for he is equal with 10 SATA 6 Gb / s ports and 4 SATA 3Gb / s ports, making its 14th overall Significantly more than the normal gasoline-user needs.

Somewhat sobering: nearly 3 years after the introduction of the USB 3.0 standard Intel still makes no native support - possibly a consequence of the origin server. However, the chipset is now 8 instead of 4 lanes connected to the processor, so the masses of data via extra controller from Renesas (New Low Power USB 3.0 controller from Renesas) and co
As Intel's high end chipsets used are 2x or 4x 16 8 PCIe lanes for graphics cards, is still unconfirmed whether this is how the mainstream chipset Panther Point successor to the PCI Express standard is 3.0. There are also another 8 PCIe 2.0 lanes, which can be used for additional controllers or expansion cards. So that makes a total of 40 lanes, the same as previously promised. With support for Gigabit Ethernet, the equipment list is complete.
Thus, the platform is so completely Romley: Sandy Bridge E to the CPU and chipset Patsburg. By 4 Quarter of 2011, interested parties must still wait, for only then will he be available. The production of the latest X58 chipset will be the 1st Quarter of 2012 are set.
