If AMD company decided to stop the development of processors for FASN8 platform , then the competing platform skulltrail from Intel was actively developed . For this expensive platform , Intel company presented the processors core 2 Extreme LGA 771, which possess a TDP level more than 150 W. In autumn these processors will pass on E0 stepping , which will allow to reduce the TDP value to 120 W. Furthermore, skulltrail platform got the official support to SLI technology .
Bloomfield processors LGA 1366 can also work in dual processor motherboard. Such configuration will be used in server solutions. However, Intel will propose the corresponding models for the desktop segment.
Besides processors for LGA 1366 systems, Intel company will propose a model with unlocked multiplier, oriented for the two-processor solutions class skulltrail. This time , the adaptation of processors in motherboard with two socket design will not require change - all Bloomfield models will have a LGA 1366 socket. Due to the support of hyper-Threading technology, two four core processors in one system class skulltrail will be able to support 16 thread.
