Intel's new socket

[pillar]

So I just looked on Newegg & noticed Intels new socket, 1150. I am wondering if I should stay with my original idea to go after the 1155 or possibly wait for more options to become available on the new 1150. Also any real good articles about the new socket by chance?

Thanks in advance

The LGA 1150 socket isn't that new. I don't know what you mean by "waiting for options" on LGA 1150, because there is already a large amount of support for it. If you're planning on a certain build or if you have an "original idea", I would avoid that until you're actually going to start building, due to the way that technology and parts like to evolve.

Overall performance increase is about 3%. If you cant find Ivy Bridge cheaper, then get Haswell.

So I checked out the 1st article that Snipeye posted & I read a comment from 1 of the posters about how he has an i7-950 (which is only 1 generation ahead of my c2q) & bout how he said that with some of the minor improvements that he doesnt mind waiting.

Should I keep my attention on both Sandy Bridge as well as Ivy Bridge, or mainly keep my focus on Ivy Bridge & continue to keep up-to-date on the latest happenings? Mind you that of course im not about to go after any i7's. My original mindset is the i5's & I have no reason to linger away from that, seeing as how they seem to be the most affordable & also contain about the same power as similar i7's.

I will continue to read the rest of the articles, but it seems that Intel is just adding small little additions to the latest & upcoming generations of i7 cpus (please feel free to correct me if im wrong).

What does your "focus" entail?

Well my focus is frankly on desktop (for now). I definitely would like to take apart a tablet in the future, but not an immediate interest. It seems that the 1155 socket isnt going anywhere anytime soon (unless im mistaken). Also seems that 1 of the motherboards in my wishlist is right at $100, which im happy bout (& its from ASRock).

It's already gone. Intel isn't making any more processors for the socket, and frankly I don't think LGA 1150 is going to last a long time either. Intel likes to play the socket game. If upgrade longevity is your thing, I would look at AM3+ or LGA 2011.

Also, I asked what your "focus" entails, not what your "focus" is.

^ yeah lol 1155 was introduced in 1999. The 1150 is now but was prob introduced in 2001. Who nows what secrets they have hiding away..

Scroll down to LGA1155. First chipset for Socket 1155 was January 2011.

LGA 1150 has JUST been introduced in June 2013. Don't know where you're getting your bad facts from, but verify your sources next time. There's a reason why everyone's talking about LGA1150 right now; it's the NEW socket STANDARD for Intel chips.

I honestly can't even find a single link using Google combining Socket 1155 with the year 1999. I honestly would like to know how you came up with the years 1999 and 2001 when I can't even purposefully find such articles or threads that would even match that.

That's was the first time it was introduced as prototype. My chip was made in 1999. Therefore the technology was available in 1999. My chip is the i5-2500k. 1155 socket. There are applications that look at the details of your cpu you know?

I'm simply making an interesting statement about marketing and cpu's.

 

[Snipeye]

Can you provide some links and such? I'm still not finding any such articles to back up your statements.

 

[FinePrint]

Sure thing check it out.

quite interesting i might add :O imagine what they have right now

bad facts?

 

[Snipeye]

1) Your entire basis is on that one program. I still cannot find any other website or credible source that can correlate the date. Surely you can find one just so you can say, "I told you so."

2) Reviews of that program has shown that its actually infected with spyware. Granted, there are a number of positive reviews, but others have pointed out those are most likely positive review spammers, the kind a company would send to create a false positive image. Because of the amount of concerns, I'm even less convinced that the program is even a legitimate source.

3) I like how you decided to resort to a picture with MS paint when you could have simply told me the program, like I asked. Right now, this:

^ yeah lol 1155 was introduced in 1999. The 1150 is now but was prob introduced in 2001. Who nows what secrets they have hiding away..

Is based on just the use of one program and your own conjectures about the 1150.

Can you provide another program or website to correlate the FreshDiagnose software? And do you actually think Intel and/or AMD are purposefully holding back technology that were discovered and created over 10 years ago? Also, a possible explanation of the 1999 date was, like you said, a prototype, but is it also possible that they've been working on the prototype idea for 10 plus years and only in the past few years/months, figured out all the components and coding needed to make the CPUs for mass production?

Finally, one idea I had about the "First Introduction" is it's related to the family of processors, but that didn't pan out at all. Around 1999 Intel was releasing the Pentium III processors and mobile Celeron processors. Maybe some one else on the forums have an explanation or idea why that program says First Introduction: March 19, 1999; or have any other site/program to verify, because right now, my view is this:

^ yeah lol 1155 was introduced in 1999. The 1150 is now but was prob introduced in 2001. Who nows what secrets they have hiding away..

IS bad facts.

Not Needed Comment. FreshDiagnose is used by IT professionals across north america. Thousands of people(including me) were intructed by their professor to get this program and is also in the textbook. You asked for evidence, so I showed you. The fact that you think they don't have the technology thought out for the next 15 years is quite humble...but extremely close minded. Have u heard of the Military? Have u heard of power and control? Have u heard of money?

No need for "butthurt" to be part of this.

Butthurt engaged

Thanks for telling all of us that you're butthurt.

Please stop giving unfounded claims. Can you back this up?

It takes basic arithmetic knowledge to know that it has actually been less than 15 years since March 19, 1999 when you claim that Intel first made the socket available. But that isn't even true, because the socket wasn't available in 1999.

Have u heard of the Military? Have u heard of power and control? Have u heard of money?

Have you ever heard of Moore's law? Probably not.

Now, there's always actually three sides to every story: Yours, Mine, and The Truth.

Yours (xNocturnal's): The LGA 1155 socket was first available in 1999
Mine (well... Snipeye's): The LGA 1155 socket was first available with the advent of Sandy Bridge processors, released in 2011.

The truth: It does not take an advanced degree in computer science to know that LGA 1155 was not introduced in 1999.

Truth: LGA 1155 is only compatible with Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors
Truth: The first processors that supported LGA 1155 were released in 2011. Development on these processes started in 2005, but that's still very far from 1999.
Truth: LGA 1155 would be completely irrelevant without processors that used the socket
Truth: LGA 1155 still effectively had a 2 year lifespan, because LGA 1155 was only supported by Intel for 2 years. This doesn't make anyone wrong except for you
Truth: For this reason, it could be completely true that LGA 1155 was first devised in 1999, but this would not make that its "Introduction Date". You're still wrong.
Truth: Your arguments aren't "bad facts". They aren't facts at all.

Lol I'm sorry did I miss a memo? Are we aloud to call eachother ****** and completey disrespect them? Yayyy lol if you both would do a little research yourselves you would find out. I've already pwned ya once. Anyone with half a brain would know you both have a very large issue with being wrong...or maybe its the fact that I'm right..I dunno but I'm out. I hope you can find an argument that you can win.
