Intel Sandy Bridge Preview: The Next Generation of Intel Processors A Sneak Peak

I still feel as if Nehalem just came out. The processors are blazing fast, and yet there is still some argument in favor of the older Core 2 architecture in mobile products. It doesn't feel as if we're well into a new generation of processor architecture, but it has been nearly two years since the first Core i7 processors hit the market.

But today we talk about the future. Sandy Bridge Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery, Intel's upcoming processor architecture, is due in 2011. It is not a complete overhaul apple laptop batteries, but it is a major update. So, let's review what is known about Sandy Bridge so far.

What's in a Name?

Are you tired of Intel's naming merry-go-around? Well, too bad. Intel is cheap changing the name structure again for Sandy Bridge. They're keeping the Core i3/i5/i7 brand labels, but they're changing how SKUs are represented. A Sandy Bridge Intel Core i5 500 will be replacement called an Intel Core i5 2500. The addition of the 2 in front of the 500 stands for "second generation."

Intel is also adding a letter suffix to the end of the processor name shop as appropriate. So far the only suffix known is K. It seems likely we'll see other suffixes, such as U for Ultra Low Voltage. We'll talk about what the K means later.

A New cheap Architecture

Intel's Clarksdale architecture integrated graphics into the same package as the processor, but the graphics processor is still physically separate. This is going to change with Sandy charger Bridge, which is placing the integrated graphics on the same die. Intel is apparently going to label their chips as having "single core" or "dual core" graphics. Each gateway "core" actually consists of six separate graphics processors called EUs.

The processor itself is still shrouded in some mystery, but is unlikely to be radically redesigned. new Improvements will likely focus on evolutionary increases of performance and power efficiency. There will be some changes in how cache is utilized because the on-die graphics will be sharing cache store with the processor.

New Sockets and Chipsets

Yes, that's right. Get out your pitchforks and torches because Intel is, indeed Acer Aspire 5920 Battery, going to release new sockets and chipsets. The new mainstream compaq chipset will be called LGA-1155. I'm not sure if it is actually going to be a socket that is only one pin off LGA-1156, but that's what the name implies. Intel is apparently going to discount replace LGA-1366 with a new socket called LGA-2011 Dell Latitude D610 Battery, but this will be more towards the end of 2011. Nehalem was led by Intel's most powerful products, but Sandy Bridge will be led by low-end and acer aspire mid-range processors.

Pretty damn annoying, isn't it? This is particularly annoying because at the moment it appears that the first Bulldozer processors from AMD will be compatible with zxcsky09520 socket AM3. But what can we do? If you don't like it, buy AMD. Intel has the largest share of the market by far, so they can do whatever they want when it comes to releasing new chipsets.
