People are wondering why Intel was came up again in to another different socket for the new Sandy Bridge processor. They released the new Intel socket 1155 processor leaving us lots of questions. Let me help you to answer lots of these.
There is a massive confusion between the earlier Intel i3, i5 & i7 processors. In this way it is hard for them to identify which is dual core & quad core except for the core because i7 is the only one. One more thing is that they makes use of different socket that doesn't fit to each other making it harder for us to upgrade.
The Sandy Bridge
Finally, Intel releases the Sandy Bridge socket 1155 processors. Socket 1155 is different from socket 1156 although they differ in pin. Physically 1155 processors don’t slot in the socket 1156 & also they have a complete different architecture. In short, they are not compatible to each other.
Intel does a great job here in making a standard socket for all i3, i5 & i7 processors which is the socket 1155. Excellent news for consumers. Sandy bridge processors use a digit number which is the 2000 series such as 2100, 2300, 2400, 2500 & so on.
The new architectural design for this type of processor is the integrated graphics processor (IGP). The inclusion of the IGP on the sandy bridge processor is their main advanced features like what they did in socket 1156 architecture.
Intel has taken the integration of the IGP in to the main processor giving them more advantage. Having the IGP permits the Fast Sync, an Intel features that provides a faster conversion of videos in to a different a format. Despite of its fast performance it consumes comparatively less power.
The inclusion of the IGP on the processor itself lets them control the video display & the memory that makes it even faster thinking about the travel time. This eliminates the Northbridge chipset that makes it less expensive in the production for its motherboard.
Conclusion
I agree that Intel does a great job here to came up in a socket fits all like the AMD. The integration of the IGP is a massive factor for them thus, making it less expensive for the manufacturing of motherboard that supports them. Unlike socket 1366 that makes use of a high cost X58 chipset to support the graphics & memory. I think Intel came up with this type of idea for them to answer the AMD lower cost processors. This is lovely news for us consumer to have the freedom to pick the best cost processor with more advanced in expertise.
