Intel Socket B vs AMD Socket AM3

jmke · 13th November 2006, 07:57

We take a look at two new sockets offerings from Intel and AMD in 2008. Socket B is LGA1366 due to the integrated memory controller and AM3 is most likely still be Socket 940. The first CPU offering from Intel to be on Socket B will be Bloomfield from the Nehalem family while the first 45nm processors from AMD will be based on Socket AM3. Both Socket B and AM3 will support DDR3 1066/1333/1600 memories and interconnect technology will be CSI (Common Serial Interconnect) and Hypertransport 3.0 respectively

Intergrated MEM controller for Intel is interesting

the question will be. will it work ok from the first time.... AMD has a lot of experience with memcontrollers after so many years... INtel on the other hand has a lot of experience with fsb and cache. one thing that makes cache absolete: mem controller.... so they cut in their own experience
