At Computex 2010, motherboard vendors across the board displayed socket LGA1155 motherboards that support Intel
"Sandy Bridge" processors, based on P67, H67 chipsets, months in
advance of the platform actually making it to the market. This year, the
motherboard industry will do something similar and show off socket
LGA2011 motherboards based on the Intel X79 "Patsburg" chipset.
Detailed to much length in older articles, the platform schematic of Sandy Bridge-E surfaced, confirming X79's feature-set, including a PCI-Express 3.0 based supplementary interconnect between the processor and chipset to bolster enough bandwidth for the massive 10-port SATA 6 Gb/s controller, and a 8-port PCI-Express 2.0 hub. Sandy Bridge-E processor itself comes in three main variants, an all-enabled 6-core Extreme Edition, a 6-core unlocked variant, and a limited-OC 4-core variant. The platform is slated for late 2011.
