2011

[AMD Lover]

Will their be anymore new chips come to the 2011 socket. I heard Haswell but I would be more interested in Devils Canyon. I know Broadwell is gonna have its own new socket because of DDR4.

Yeah, the X99 chipset is coming for 2011 socket Haswell-E.

 

I don't know what you read but X99 will support DDR4.

[AMD Lover]

Awwww, So new boards??? Will X79 work

I can't tell you that now, I know that X99 is going to run DDR4, whether or not that will make any difference as to whether firmware updates can be issued to X79 boards in order to support the new CPUs isn't something I know for sure.

Haswell doesnt support DDR4 does it?

Hers's a fairly recent round-up of what should be coming up very soon: http://wccftech.com/intel-haswelle-core-i7-5960x-core-i7-5930k-core-i7-5820k-specifications-unveiled-flagship-8-core-boost-33-ghz/

 

Physically the pins will be the same but will require the new revision of the 2011 socket in the X99 platform.

Not on socket 1150, no it's still DDR3.

Basically can I get an X79 board with any of the new CPU's. Is it worth getting X79 right now?

X99 is so close I'd wait.

This is a quote from guru3D, I may be wrong but I don't believe the new revision of the 2011-3 socket is compatible with the X97 platform since it has a different layout.

 

"Both the 6 core and 8 core processor versions will get a 140 W TDP and a maximum memory speed of 2133Mhz per DIMM slot. Haswell-E will bring a new version of your same old LGA 2011 socket with it. Dubbed LGA 2011-3, the derived socket has the same dimensions and ball pattern pitch as LGA 2011. Basically, the number of pins remains the same while their layout changes. According to the slides, the new design is more efficient as per Intel’s research, and additional wings in the LGA 2011-3 socket help improve package handling."
