Why s2011-3 is exist?

[f1xzor]

Can you explain me?

[ARikozuM]

Intel made a socket with 2011 pins and that's their naming scheme.

ok, but why it's exsit? 

what is the main use for this cpu?

[ARikozuM]

Everything that a 1150 can do. There's no other reason that makes this any more or less true. The bigger sockets can hold more cores (generally) and have more features but it ultimately comes down to Intel doing what they have/want to.

ok

High performance computing and servers. All xeons e5 and e7 processors and most Xeon e3s require a 2011 v3 socket and a specialised chipset.

Servers, man. Servers. And enthusiastic class computers and workstations.

so the s2011-3 mostly for editing 4k and stuff like that?

No. The places I see and use them in are for file servers or rendering where CPU's can be paired on a single board.

oh ok

I mean certain use cases requires specific cpus. 2011v3 exists for desktop CPUs and server CPUs. Generally speaking, 2011v3 cannot do more than any other socket. Its just an array of pins fitting the contacts of specific cpus. The real difference is what you can put in there in terms of cpus. Intel decided, that you can only have 4 core processors on the "standard" 1150 socket which is more than enough for the average person. But if you have way too much money to spend on a pc (enthusiasts) or you need more than 4 cores to speed up rendering (videos, 3D rendering etc) or to run a big file server, to do some sort of scientific research or anything else that profits from higher core counts, you need to go for socket 2011v3. This is the only way to get more than 4 cores on intels side.

To put it, with the extra pins means extra power and signaling for the CPU. This allows Intel to implement a quad-channel memory controller and up to 40 PCI Express lanes onto their CPUs that also have 6+ cores already with no problem whatsoever due to the bandwidth the extra pins can afford them.

 

AMD also has what's called Socket G34, with 1,944 pins. Though that socket solely exists for servers, I think you get the idea of why they exist.

 

They exist for a few reasons:

• Servers
• Workstations
• High-end Desktops (like my build in my signature for example)

oh ok

LGA 1151 is "mainstream" CPUs -- the best you can get is a 4-core i7 with Hyper-threading. Price is $##.## to $###.##

LGA 2011-3 is "high-end enthusiast" CPUs -- ALL i7 with  6-core, 8-core, or 10-core...or server grade Xeon CPUs. Price is $###.## to $#,###.##.

I think the question is why does socket 1151 exist, and that is the answer

They changed something on Skylake CPUs (moved something off the chip and onto the motherboard) which made it impossible for it to work with previous generation motherboards so they needed a new socket to stop it being extremely confusing.

Nah, my point was about 1151, 1150, 1155, etc. existing, i.e., why the dumbed-down platforms exist
