Talk:LGA 1366

Future of 1366
It seems like Intel promised the world with 1366 and led the enthusiast community to believe they would have a well supported socket with tons of future multi-core cpu releases (8 or 16 core). But as its turned out, very little was done and it seems like all the love from Intel went to the 1155/1156 platforms. [b]Will Intel be releasing any large number multi-core cpus for 1366 to complement the massive bandwidth provided by triple channel ram?[/b] History has shown, Intel brings out an Enthusiest platform like the dual socket Skulltrail, promises great things for it and then (like Onkyo's Upgradeable receivers) fall flat on future support or upgrade options.

My conclusion is obvious: Dont Buy to Intel's overpriced and under-supported Enthusiast platforms. Wait for the 2nd Generation of the mainstream version and then buy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.160.246 (talk) 21:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Pin usage?
What is the actual pinout? What are the additional pins being used for as Intel migrates from LGA775? -- SpareSimian (talk) 11:37, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I dunno what the actual pinout is (and it wouldn't surprise me if it's only availible under NDA) but the big change with 1366/1156 is the integration of the memory controller into the CPU and the replacement of the traditional FSB with either quickpath or direct PCIe and ESI links. Connecting multiple channels of DDR3 directly to the processor is going to take quite a lot of pins. 86.1.116.158 (talk) 02:30, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * So, we need to buy a new board for a new processor. then the socket goes obsolete. if i pay high for a mobo, and think to upgrade processor later. this is never be for next intel processor. only rich people could buy all parts expensive for future intel release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.137.48.5 (talk) 08:45, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Mechanical load limits??
I went to this article because I wanted to understand what the LGA 1366 based architecture is and how it differs from older or competing architectures such as LGA 775 or LGA 1156. How is the "mechanical load limits" section of this article in any way useful or relevant? When you install a CPU and its heatsink / cooling fan, you push down until things "click" into place - push down too hard, you'll hear a sickening "crack" and then you go and buy a new one. The fact it breaks at 890 newtons is of no practical value to anyone. Also, due to differences in motherboard design and manufacturing materials and techniques, I doubt the figures quoted in this article are true of every LGA 1366 socket on the market.

I suggest it be left in for now, and an expert on the subject can discuss further whether they think it is relevant (or accurate) Besides which you'll find 90-95% of motherboards on the market (In Australia, at least) use the same (or very similar) manufacturing techniques/materials for motherboard (the actual board, not the circuit) and socket. 58.106.20.46 (talk) 14:55, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
