• Which socket is newer than 1155 or 1150. Intel processor sockets. Generation of Broadwell chips

    #Socket_LGA1150 #Socket_LGA1155

    Sandy Bridge processors with LGA1155 first appeared in 2010, replacing not the most successful processors with the LGA1156 socket and Lynnfield core. The new processors had greater performance and at the same time ran noticeably less hot. Models with an unlocked multiplier made it possible to achieve record frequencies at the time of release. In 2012, processors with the Ivy Bridge core were released, using the same LGA1155 processor socket. These chips belong to the third generation and differ primarily in their support for PCI-E version 3.0. Thanks to this, those who support them gained popularity just as quickly as Sandy Bridge. Video card manufacturers also contributed to this by releasing top solutions with such an interface. For the sake of objectivity, it is worth noting that third-generation processors had less overclocking potential compared to the second generation.

    Socket LGA1155

    Fourth generation processors, Haswell, replaced Ivy Bridge. They brought with them not only a new level of performance, but also a new processor socket. The graphics built into the processor have undergone serious modernization, and the performance has reached values ​​that allow you to play simple games quite comfortably. Almost simultaneously with the fourth generation, fifth-generation processors with the Broadwell core were released, which provide performance similar to Haswell with lower power consumption.

    The table below allows you to compare the listed processors:

    To compare performance, consider 3 older processors of the second, third and fourth generations. The fifth generation does not make much sense to consider, since these CPUs are not created for high performance, but to improve performance per watt. Therefore, they are inferior in performance to fourth-generation processors.

    The test results show how processor performance has increased from generation to generation. The exception is a game test based on the game Crysis Warhead. This is due to the fact that this game uses only one processor core, and the main performance criterion is the clock speed. It can be seen that the Core i7-3770, as having the lowest clock frequency, showed minimal performance. All old games behave this way, so if you love World of Tanks or Crysis, then changing a second or third generation processor is pointless. For modern games like GTA 5, The Witcher 3 or Project CARS, a newer processor will provide better performance. For tasks such as photo and video editing, mathematical calculations, etc., switching from to makes sense. Especially considering that modernization will require replacement only and. The remaining components can be used from the old system.

    Let's turn to energy consumption. Let's consider the Core i7-2700K, Core i7-3770K, Core i7-4790K processors installed in a system where the second noticeable energy consumer is the Radeon HD 7970 video card. The load on the processor was provided by a performance test built into the 7z archiver and capable of loading all processor cores in system

    The power consumption of the processor determines its heating. Those. The more the processor consumes, the better it needs to be cooled. Accordingly, the cooling system of a more economical processor, all other things being equal, will be quieter. The table with power consumption tests shows that the second generation Core processors have the highest power consumption. With third and fourth generation processors, things are a little more complicated. The tested processors showed a funny result: the Core i7-4790K was better at idle, and the Core i7-3770K was better under load. However, it is worth considering that modern processors rarely work at full load, so it is important that the CPU is able to effectively reduce power consumption. Based on this, it can be argued that in non-extreme operating modes the Core i7-4790K will have lower power consumption.

    CPU socket LGA 1150 or Socket H3intended for processors that the companyIntelintroduced in 2013. This

    fourth generation processors with integrated graphics core.

    LGA 1150 designed to replaceLGA 1155 and is intended for core processorsHaswell.

    In 2013 Intel announced crystals (processors) under the code name Ivy Bridge, they were designed using 22nm technology and replaced 32nm processors on the market Sandy Bridge. At the same time, the computing cores have not changed, but the graphics component has undergone major changes. The transition to new processors was not without consequences; processors using 22nm technology turned out to be much worse overclocked than their predecessors. In this regard, fans of Intel microprocessors were waiting with hope for a correction of the situation in upcoming products. Processors became them Haswell.


    Long before the release of new processors, the Internet was filled with numerous speculations about the unprecedented overclocking potential and excellent performance of processors based on the processor socket Socket 1150.

    Let's look at the new processors with technical side. New s1150 i3, i5, i7 processors have a built-in graphics core Intel HD Graphics 4600, much more powerful than s1155 i3, i5, i7 which are equipped with only Intel HD Graphics 2500. This is a very compelling argument for those who are going to work on systems without a separate video card and plan to use the built-in graphics core.



    Details of the new microarchitectureHaswell.

    The manufacturer decided not to increase the number of cores in the new processors i5 And i7, as was the case, for example, in processors from a competing company AMD (remember that processors AMD executed on a socket AM3+ had 2,4,6 and 8 cores). The motive was the excellent performance of quad-core systems.

    The use of the latest technological process made it possible to place a hitherto unimaginable number of semiconductors - 1400 million on a chip area of ​​177 mm². These transistors have a three-dimensional structure, the first processors based on 22nm technology had a similar structure Ivy Bridge. This structure is called Try-Gate and thanks to it, transistors are small in size and leakage currents are minimized. This set of solutions not only reduced the cost of the product, but also led to a reduction in power consumption compared to processors using the 32nm process technology.


    Let's take a look inside crystalHaswell. Inside it are 4 computing cores, a third-level memory array, a graphics accelerator and a “system agent”, which includes a DDR3 RAM controller, image transmitters, bus controllers PCI And DMI. A high-speed bus is used for communication between internal blocks in the chip; processor cores and integrated graphics use a common cache memory.


    As for the computing cores, changes compared to Ivy Bridge are in the nature of optimizations, the design of the computational pipeline is the same. The throughput of the task manager was increased by adding two ports, the fetching and branch prediction mechanisms were improved, and the buffer in the second level cache was optimized Translation Lookaside Buffer, and also when operating virtualization technologies, delays have been reduced. There have also been minor changes in the operation of vector construction blocks - they have received support for the latest instructions that speed up cryptography operations, multimedia processing and caching. The depth of data retrieval from the first and second level caches per clock has doubled, which means that processors Haswell can significantly outperform their predecessors in optimized tasks.

    1155 is just right for the home!!!

    QX | July 10, 2015, 10:31
    LGA 2011.
    First of all, low prevalence. In case of problems, it is difficult to find the motherboard. Only enthusiasts have such computers. There are many times more ordinary motherboards.
    More sizes. You need a huge cooler and a huge case.
    Now imagine, putting all this brute after you at work, or for dad, mom, etc... Few people will like a huge and heavy system unit.
    Energy consumption. It will always eat a lot, even when idle, much more than a regular i5 and i3.
    Price. A solution to LGA 2011 will be expensive.
    Performance. Windows and the browser will not appreciate it; they will work the same as on a modern Core i3.
    The games will be appreciated, but only the most modern ones, 12 channels then. And often I want to play old games.
    Great idea to play CS 1.6 on a 6 core i7 with a TDP of 140 W. Super!!!
    Modern life also doesn’t allow you to play a lot; there’s simply no time.
    The 6-core will just stand there, or at best distribute torrents. For this, it is also simply necessary :))) Just kidding, for torrents you don’t need a powerful processor, you need more RAM.
    You can buy such a 6-core processor for permanent archiving, video encoding, and more. But even here he may not justify himself yet.
    Overall, LGA 2011 is a bold decision. But an experienced investor is unlikely to invest his money in this, since the benefits are highly controversial.
    But the LGA 2011 will be bought by an enthusiast, primarily for self-satisfaction.
    The choice is yours.

    1155 is simply no longer relevant. An assembly based on socket 1150 will be cheaper than in 2011. However, 2011 also has advantages. In particular, four-channel memory, 40 PCI-E lanes... In addition, 6-core processors have been developed for this socket, and soon there will probably be eight-core ones. In short, if you have money and a desire to build a more productive computer, then choose 2011. If you're on a budget and don't want to stick to top-end solutions, then go for the 1150.

    The numbers 1150 or 1155 next to the name of the models of Intel processors and motherboards for them indicate the type of socket - a contact pad that allows the two main nodes of the system to interact with each other. The development of these interfaces is inextricably linked with the development of CPU lines, so they become outdated and replaced at the same time. In the specifications, an indication of the socket is the most important information that determines the system configuration, since a mismatch can lead to incompatibility between the processor and motherboard. Let’s evaluate how the 1150 differs from the 1155 and prepare for the selection of components.

    LGA 1155(or Socket H2) is a 1155-pin socket for Intel processors, released in 2011.

    LGA 1150(or Socket H3) is a 1150-pin socket for Intel processors, released in 2013.

    As you can see, the numbers in the names of the sockets are by no means random - they coincide with the number of processor contacts intended for installation on the motherboard pad. These are physical indicators, and the practical difference between 1150 and 1155 is which CPU models can be used with them. In short, it’s not the connector that makes the system, but what’s in the connector.

    Comparison

    The physical dimensions of both LGA types under consideration are identical: 37.5 x 37.5 mm. The number of contacts is 1150 and 1155, respectively. Their placement and the location of the key slots differ, so it will not be possible to accidentally install the processor in someone else's socket. Cooling system manufacturers sometimes create confusion about compatibility by releasing coolers with mounts for 1150/1155. In this case, it seems to some users that the interfaces are identical, but in fact the latches of the cooling systems are not related to the processor pads.

    As mentioned, the LGA 1155 socket appeared in 2011 with and for SandyBridge processors. In 2012, the successor IvyBridge fit into the same connector, receiving a performance increase and support for PCI-E 3.0. In 2013, the world saw Haswell with an interface of 1150, in 2014 DevilsCanyon joined the family, in 2015 Broadwell, and they very successfully replaced the previous lines. It's easy to see the difference between the 1150 and 1155: two calendar years and four generations of Intel CPUs. One could say that the processors on these sockets are already outdated and have fallen out of favor, but they are still on sale, having moved from the top segment to the mass market.

    Starting with the Haswell line, Intel processors received graphics cores from HD Graphics 4600 and higher, so we can assume that configurations based on LGA 1150 are in any case more powerful than 1155 in terms of the built-in video subsystem. However, this gain is determined by the CPU, and not the connector.

    To connect the computer processor to the motherboard, special sockets are used. With each new version, processors gained more and more features and functions, so usually each generation used a new socket. This negated compatibility, but made it possible to implement the necessary functionality.

    Over the past few years, the situation has changed a little, and a list of Intel sockets has formed that are actively used and supported by new processors. In this article, we have collected the most popular 2017 Intel processor sockets that are still supported.

    Before we look at processor sockets, let's try to understand what they are. A socket is the physical interface connecting the processor to the motherboard. The LGA socket consists of a series of pins that align with the plates on the underside of the processor.

    New processors usually need a different set of pins, which means a new socket. However, in some cases, processors remain compatible with previous ones. The socket is located on the motherboard and cannot be upgraded without completely replacing the board. This means that upgrading the processor may require a complete rebuild of the computer. Therefore, it is important to know which socket is used on your system and what you can do with it.

    1. LGA 1151

    LGA 1151 is the latest Intel socket. It was released in 2015 for the Intel Skylake generation of processors. These processors used the 14 nanometer process technology. Since the new Kaby Lake processors haven't changed much, this socket is still relevant. The socket is supported by the following motherboards: H110, B150, Q150, Q170, H170 and Z170. The release of Kaby Lake brought the following boards: B250, Q250, H270, Q270, Z270.

    Compared to the previous version of LGA 1150, USB 3.0 support has appeared here, the operation of DDR4 and DIMM memory modules has been optimized, and SATA 3.0 support has been added. DDR3 compatibility was still maintained. For video, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort are supported by default, while VGA support can be added by manufacturers.

    LGA 1151 chips only support GPU overclocking. If you want to overclock the processor or memory, you will have to choose a higher-end chipset. In addition, support for Intel Active Management, Trusted Execution, VT-D and Vpro has been added.

    In tests, Skylake processors show better results than Sandy Bridge, and the new Kaby Lake is even several percent faster.

    Here are the processors that are currently running on this socket:

    2. LGA 1150

    The LGA 1150 socket was developed for the previous fourth generation of Intel Haswell processors in 2013. It is also supported by some fifth-generation chips. This socket works with the following motherboards: H81, B85, Q85, Q87, H87 and Z87. The first three processors can be considered entry-level devices: they do not support any advanced Intel features.

    The last two boards added support for SATA Express, as well as Thunderbolt technology. Compatible processors:

    3. LGA 1155

    This is the oldest supported socket on the list for Intel processors. It was released in 2011 for the second generation Intel Core. Most Sandy Bridge architecture processors run on it.

    The LGA 1155 socket has been used for two generations of processors in a row, and is also compatible with Ivy Bridge chips. This means that it was possible to upgrade without changing the motherboard, just like now with Kaby Lake.

    This socket is supported by twelve motherboards. The senior line includes B65, H61, Q67, H67, P67 and Z68. All of them were released along with the release of Sandy Bridge. The launch of Ivy Bridge brought the B75, Q75, Q77, H77, Z75 and Z77. All boards have the same socket, but some features are disabled on budget devices.

    4. LGA 2011

    The LGA 2011 socket was released in 2011 after LGA 1155 as a socket for high-end Sandy Bridge-E/EP and Ivy Bridge E/EP processors. The socket is designed for six-core processors and all Xenon processors. For home users, the X79 motherboard will be relevant. All other boards are designed for enterprise users and Xenon processors.

    In tests, Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E processors show pretty good results: performance is 10-15% higher.

    Supported processors:

    • Haswell-E Core i7 - 5820K, 5930K, 5960X;

    These were all modern intel processor sockets.

    5. LGA 775

    It was used to install Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad and many others processors, up to the release of LGA 1366. Such systems are outdated and use the old DDR2 memory standard.

    6. LGA 1156

    The LGA 1156 socket was released for the new line of processors in 2008. It was supported by the following motherboards: H55, P55, H57 and Q57. New processor models for this socket have not been released for a long time.

    Conclusions

    In this article, we looked at generations of Intel sockets that were used before and are actively used in modern processors. Some of them are compatible with new models, while others are completely forgotten, but are still found on users’ computers.

    Latest Intel socket 1151, supported by Skylake and KabyLake processors. We can assume that the CoffeLake processors that will be released this summer will also use this socket. There used to be other types of Intel sockets, but they are no longer very common.
