Introduced just at the beginning of this week together with Intel’s first Sandy Bridge-E desktop processors, the X79 chipset is expected to be compatible with the chip maker’s 2012 high-performance CPUs based on the Ivy Bridge-E architecture.
This information was provided by a user from the Chinese XFastest forum, who posted what appears to be an Intel slide which details the socket compatibility of the company’s X79 chipset for LGA 2011 motherboards.
The compatibility would ensure longevity of the LGA 2011 Socket Motherboards.
According to the same Chinese website cited above, the first Ivy Bridge-E Processors would be available in 6-8 Core models featuring a 22nm design and would arrive in late Q4 2012.
The Intel X79 Express PCH was designed to support LGA 2011 processors and it includes native support for a pair of SATA 6Gbps ports, four SATA 3Gbps ports and also carries an additional 8 lane PCI Express controller.
