Sources among motherboard producers already reported that the first processors models with nehalem architecture from intel company will be extended during October this year, their announcement must take place in the second-half of the following year.
Let us recall that the design concept Of nehalem processor still unknown . Some sources assume that a processors part will have the socket H (LGA 715), and more functional developed processors will have the socket B (LGA 1336). But here two motherboard types for one generation processors to computers producers is disadvantageous. In any case, for Nehalem will be required a new motherboards, since the processors will use a new power system , which corresponds to the requirements VRM 11.1.
Yesterday associate with reference to its own sources confirmed that nehalem processors with the built-in memory controller will have the design concept socket B. they will obtain the integrated graphic core, and they will support the analog to hyper-Threading technology, which allow to increase the number of virtual cores.
Thus, in the second-half of 2008 , intel will pass to the new design concept. New motherboards do not always support old processors. The buyers of intel processors already became familiar with frequent motherboard change .
