According to a very-recent post over at X-bit Labs, Intel’s upcoming X79 chipset will offer support for not only Sandy Bridge-E’s LGA 2011 socket, but also Intel’s existing enthusiast socket, LGA 1366. Keep in mind that this is chipset compatibility and not socket compatibility.
LGA 2011
Last week we published an article regarding ASUS’ Project Danshui Bay motherboard, which features both a LGA 1366 socket and the upcoming LGA 2011 socket. This seemed very bizarre, and still does, but the folks over at 4Gamer.net have posted more images including one that provides a nice overview of the boards’ layout.

The LGA 2011 socket will be appearing on motherboards sporting Intel’s X79 chipset which will be launching alongside Intel’s Sandy Bridge-E line of enthusiast processors in Q4 of 2011.
While Intel’s successor to their Nehalem platform is still at least six months away, the folks over at Computer Base have leaked a couple of classified Intel slides that provide details on the upcoming Romley platform, featuring Sandy Bridge-E processors.
A couple of weeks ago we posted an article that showcased Intel’s 2011 and early 2012 roadmap. This roadmap showed that the X58/LGA 1366 replacement platform, Sandy Bridge-E, would be seen in Q4 of 2011. Well, now we have more details on these LGA 2011 CPUs, including core counts, clock speeds and more – let’s [...]
HEXUS.net is reporting (via IT.com.cn), that there has been a leaked Intel presentation slide specifying details on the upcoming Intel X79 Express chipset that we will see on motherboards with the LGA 2011 socket.
