What socket under i5. Socket Intel
For an office, home or game computer, it's not so difficult to choose the appropriate processor. It is only necessary to determine the needs, a little navigate in the characteristics and price ranges. It makes no sense to thoroughly study the smallest nuances, if you are not "guy", but you need to understand what to pay attention to.
For example, you can search for a processor with a greater frequency and cache memory, but, without paying attention to the chip core, you can get to come. The kernel, in fact, is the main productivity factor, and the other characteristics plus-minus. In general, I can say that the more expensive the product in the line of one manufacturer, the better, more powerful, faster. But AMD processors are cheaper than in Intel.
- The processor should choose depending on the tasks. If you have about two resource-intensive programs in normal mode, it is better to buy a dual-core "stone" with a high frequency. If more streams are used - it is better to stop your choice on the multi-core of the same architecture, even with a lower frequency.
- Hybrid processors (with an integrated video card) will save on the purchase of a video card, provided that you do not need to play in the hood games. It is almost all modern Intel and AMD series A4-A12 processors, but AMD is stronger than a graphics core.
- Together with all the processors with the mark "WHO", a cooler must be supplied (of course, a simple model, which is not enough for high loads, but to work in the nominal mode - what is needed). If you need a steep cooler, then.
- The annual warranty is applied to the processors with the mark "OEM", on a three-year one. If the warranty period provided by the store is less - it is better to think about searching for another distributor.
- In some cases, it makes sense to buy percentage of hands, thus you can save about 30% of the amount. True, this method of purchase is associated with a certain risk, so it is necessary to pay attention to the presence of warranty and reputation as a seller.
The main technical characteristics of processors
Now about some characteristics that are still worth mentioning. It is not necessary to delve, but it will be useful in order to understand my recommendations of specific models.
Each processor has its own socket (platform). The name of the connector on the motherboard under which it is intended. Whatever you choose the processor, be sure to match sockets. At the moment there are several platforms.
- LGA1150 - not for top processors, used for office computers, gaming and home media center. Built-in start-up graphics, except Intel IRIS / IRIS Pro. Already coming out of turnover.
- LGA1151 - a modern platform, recommended for the future upgrade to newer stones. The processors themselves are not very faster than the previous platform, i.e., there is no sense to upgrade to it. But here there is a more powerful embedded graphics core of the Intel Graphics series, the DDR4 memory is supported, but it does not give a strong gain in performance.
- LGA2011-V3 is a top platform designed to build high-performance desktop systems based on system logic Intel X299, expensive, outdated.
- LGA 2066 (Socket R4) - connector for HEDT (HI-END) Intel processors Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X, came to replace 2011-3.
- AM1 for weak, energy-efficient processors
- AM3 + Comable socket, suitable for most AMD processors, incl. For high-performance processors without integrated video
- AM4 is designed for micro-processors with Zen microarchitecture (Ryzen brand) with built-in graphics and without it, and all subsequent. Support for DDR4 memory.
- FM2 / FM2 + for budget options athlon x2 / x4 without embedded graphics.
- sTR4 - type of connectivity for a HEDT family of microprocessors Ryzen Threadripper. Similar to server sockets, the most massive and desktop computers.
There are outdated platforms, buy that can be in order to save, but you need to consider that there will be no new processors for them: LGA1155, AM3, LGA2011, AM2 / +, LGA775 and others that are not in the lists.
Name of the kernel. Each line of pros has its own nucleus. For example, Intel is now relevant to Sky Lake, Kaby Lake and the newest Coffee Lake of the eighth generation. AMD - Richland, Bulldozer, Zen. The higher the generation is the more high-performance chip, with smaller energy consumption, and the more technologies are introduced.
Number of Cores: From 2 to 18 pieces. The bigger, the better. But there is such a moment: programs that do not know how to distribute the load on the kernels will work faster on a two-year-old with a greater clock frequency than on a 4-core, but with a lower frequency. In short, if there is no clear technical task, then the rule works: more - better, and the farther, that it will be more correct.
TechProcess, measured in nanometers, for example - 14nm. Does not affect performance, but affects the heating of the processor. Each new generation of processors is manufactured according to a new technological process with less NM. This means that if you take the processor of the previous generation and about the same new one, the latter will warm up less. But, since new products are made faster, then they are sinking about the same. Those., Improving the technical process allows manufacturers to make faster processors.
Clock frequency, Measured in Gigahertz, for example - 3,5GHz. Always the bigger - the better, but only within the same series. If you take an old pentium with a frequency of 3.5GHz and some new one, then old will be more slower than many times. This is explained by the fact that they have completely different nuclei.
Almost all "stones" are able to accelerate, i.e. Work at a greater frequency than the one that is specified in the characteristics. But this is a topic for disassembled, because You can burn the processor or get a non-working system!
Volume of memory cache 1, 2 and 3 levels, one of the key characteristics, the more, the faster. The first level is the most important, the third is less significant. Directly depends on the kernel and series.
TDP. - Dispel thermal power, well, or how much at maximum load. A smaller number means less heating. Without clear personal preferences, you can not pay attention to this. Powerful processors consume 110-220 watts of electricity in the load. You can familiarize yourself with the chart of exemplary energy consumption by Intel and AMD processors under the usual load, the smaller the better:
Model, Serie: Does not apply to characteristics, but nevertheless I want to tell how to understand which processor is better in the framework of one series, not particularly removing in the characteristics. The name of the processor, for example "Intel i3-8100", consists of the "Core i3" series and the number 8100 model. The first digit means the processor line on some nucleus, and the following is its "productivity index", roughly speaking. So, we can estimate that:
- Core i3-8300 faster than i3-8100
- i3-8100 faster than i3-7100
- But i3-7300 will be shunter than i3-8100, despite the youngest series, because 300 strong More than 100. I think the essence you caught.
The same applies to AMD.
Will you play on your computer?
The next moment with which you need to decide in advance: the playing future of the computer. For the "fun farm" and other simple online games will suit any embedded graphics. If you buy an expensive video card to plans, but I want to play, then you need to take the processor with the normal graphics core of Intel Graphics 530/630 / Iris Pro, AMD Radeon RX Vega Series. Even modern games in Full HD 1080P permit on the minimum and medium graphics quality settings will go. You can play in World of Tanks, GTA, Dota and others.

- Socket 370. - The most common connector for Intel processors. It is from it that the ERA of the separation of Intel processors on the inexpensive Celeron solutions with cropped cache and Pentium - more expensive full versions of the company's product. The connector was installed on the motherboard with a bus system from 60 to 133 MHz, the socket is made in the form of a plastic mobile box of square execution, when installing a processor with 370 contacts, a special plastic lever pressed the processor legs to the connector contacts. Supported Intel Celeron Coppermine processors, Intel Celeron Tualatin, Intel Celeron Mendocino, Intel Pentium Tualatin, Intel Pentium Coppermine. Specifications of installed processors from 300 to 1400 MHz. Supported third-party processors. Produced since 1999.
- Socket 423. - The first jack for Pentium processors 4. had a 423-digging grid of the legs, was used on personal computer motherboards. It existed for less than a year due to the impossibility of the processor to further increase frequency, the processor could not pass the frequency of 2 GHz. Replaced with Socket 478 connector. Beginning of the 2000 year.
- Socket 478. - Allowed by a competitor connector (AMD) Socket A, since previous processors could not raise the bar in 2 Gigarez, and AMD broke forward in the process of processor manufacturing market. The connector supports INTEL PENTIUM 4, Intel Celeron, Celeron D, Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition. High-speed characteristics from 1400 MHz to 3.4 GHz. Produced since 2000.
- Socket 754. it was designed specifically for the Athlon 64 processor. The release of new processor connectors was associated with the need to replace the Athlon XP processor line, which was based on the Socket A. Installation of the first processors of the AMD K8 platforms were carried out in Socket 754 processor connectors, having 4 to 4 centimeters. Such a need was dictated by the fact that the Athlon 64 processors had a new tire and integrated memory controllers. The voltage issued by this socket was 1.5 volts. Of course, 754 became an intermediate stage of development of Athlon 64. A great high cost and initial deficit of processor data did not make this platform very popular. And by the time, when the availability and cost of components only came to normal, AMD presented the release of the new connector - Socket 939. By the way, it was he who helped make Athlon 64 popular and really affordable processor.
- Socket 775. or Socket T is the first connector under the Intel processors of non-nests, is made in a square-execution formator with protruding contacts. The processor was installed on the protruding contacts, the pressure plate was descended, and with the help of the lever adds to the contacts. Until now is used in many personal computers. It was intended to work with almost all processors of Intel Fourth Generation - Pentium 4, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, Celeron D, Pentium Dual-Core, Pentium D, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo and Xeon Series Processors. Produced since 2004. High-speed characteristics of installed processors from 1400 MHz to 3800 MHz.
- Socket 939. containing 939 contacts of an extremely small diameter, so that they are soft enough. This is a "simplified" version of the previous Socket 940, usually used in high-performance computers and servers. The absence of one hole in the nest did not give the ability to install more expensive processors in it. This connector was considered very successful for their time, as it combined good opportunities, the presence of two-channel access to memory and low cost, both the nest itself and the controller in the motherboard computers. These connectors were used for computers having a normal DDR memory. Immediately after the transition to the DDR2 memory, they are morally outdated and gave way to AM2 connectors. The next step is the invention of the new DDR3 memory and the new AM2 + and AM3 connections intended for the following models of the AMD four-core processors.
- Socket AM2. (Socket M2) developed by AMD for some types of desktop processors (Athlon-Le, Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64 x2, Sempron-LE and SEMPRON, Phenom X4 and Phenom X3, Opteron). It came to replace the socket 939 and 754 connectors. Despite the fact that the Socket M2 has 940 contacts, this jack is not compatible with Socket 940, since the more old Socket 940 version cannot support two-channel operational DDR2 memory. The first processors supporting the Socket AM2 became the samean models (either 64th Athlon) and Manila (Sempron), some dual-core windsor (for example, Athlon 64, X2 FX) and Brisbane (Athlonx2 and Athlon 64x2). In addition, Socket AM2 includes Socket F, intended for servers, and Socket S1 option for various mobile computers. Socket AM2 + I it is absolutely identical with the previous one, the difference is only in supporting the processors with the Agena and Toliman kernels.
- Socket LGA 1156. - Completed using 1156 protruding contacts. Released since 2009. Designed for modern Intel processors for personal computers. High-speed characteristics from 2.1 GHz and above.
- Socket LGA 1155. Or Socket H2 - designed to replace the LGA 1156 socket. Supports the most modern Sandy Bridge processor and the future Ivy Bridge. The connector is made in 1155 contact version. Released since 2011. High-speed characteristics up to 20 GB / s.
- Socket R (LGA2011) - Core i7 and Xeon with an integrated four-channel memory controller and two QuickPath connections. Substitution Socket B (LGA1366)
- Socket FM1 it is an AMD platform for Llano processors and looks like a tempting offer for those who like integrated systems.
- H3 or LGA 1150 connector - Processor connector for Intel processors Haswell microarchitecture (and its successor Broadwell), released in 2013. LGA 1150 is designed as a substitute for LGA 1155 (Socket H2). Made using LGA technology (Land Grid Array). It is a connector with spring-loaded or soft contacts to which the processor is pressed using a special holder with capture and lever. It is officially confirmed that the LGA 1150 jack will be used with Intel Q85, Q87, H87, Z87, B85 chip sets. The mounting holes for cooling systems on the sockets 1150/1155/1156 are completely identical, which means full comprehensive compatibility and identical order of installation of cooling systems for these sockets.
- Socket B2 (LGA1356) - Core i7 and Xeon with an integrated three-channel memory controller and QuickPath connections. Substitution Socket B (LGA1366)
- FM2 connector - The processor connector for hybrid processors (APU) of the AMD company with the architecture of the PileDriver kernel: Trinity and Komodo, as well as canceled Sepang and Terramar (MCM - a multimele module). Constructively represents a ZIF - a connector with 904 contacts, which is designed to install processors in PGA enclosures.The FM2 connector was presented in 2012, just a year after the FM1 connector. Although the FM2 nest is the development of the FM1 socket, it does not have backward compatibility with it. Trinity processors have up to 4 cores, Komodo and Sepang server chips - up to 10, and Terramar - up to 20 cores.
- Socket LGA 1151. - Intel processors connector, which supports Skylake architecture processors. LGA 1151 is designed as replacement of the LGA 1150 connector (also known as Socket H3). LGA 1151 has 1151 spring-made contact for contact with processor contact pads. According to rumors and leaks of Intel's advertising documentation, motherboards with this connector will differ support for DDR4 memory type. All Skylake architecture chipsets support Intel Rapid Storage technology, Intel Clear Video Technology and Intel Wireless Display Technology (with the support of the processor technology). Most motherboards support various video outputs (VGA, DVI or - depending on the model).
- LGA 2066 (Socket R4) - Intel Power Connector, Supporting Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X architecture processors without an integrated graphics core. Designed as a replacement for the LGA 2011 / 2011-3 connector (Socket R / R3) for high-performance desktop PCs on the Basin Falls platform (set of system logic x299), while LGA 3647 (Socket P) will replace LGA 2011-1 / 2011 3 (Socket R2 / R3) in server platforms based on SkyLake-EX (Xeon "Purley").
- AM4 (PGA or μOPGA1331) - socket, AMD for microprocessors with ZEN microarchitecture (Ryzen brand) and subsequent. The connector refers to the PGA type (PIN Grid Array) and has 1331 contact. It will be the first socket of the company with support for the DDR4 memory standard and will be a single connector as for high-performance processors without an integrated video card (currently used Socket AM3 +) and for low-cost processors and APUs (previously used different Sockets of AM / FM series).
- Socket TR4 (Socket Ryzen Threadripper 4, also Socket SP3R2) - AMD connector type for Ryzen Threadripper Microprocessor Family, represented on August 10, 2017. Physically very close to the AMD Socket SP3 server connector, however, incompatible with it. Socket TR4 became the first LGA connector for consumer products (previously LGA was used in the server segment, and the processors for home computers were produced in the FC-PGA type housing). It uses a complex multistage process of installation of the processor in the connector using special retaining frames: internal, fixed by latches to the cover of the chip housing, and the external fixed screws to the socket. Journalists celebrate a very large physical size of the connector and socket, calling it the largest format for consumer processors. Due to the size, it requires specialized cooling systems that can be removed to 180 W. The socket supports the HEDT segment processors with 8-16 nuclei and provides the ability to connect RAM in 4 DDR4 SDRAM channels. 64 PCIExpress 3 generation lines (4 are used for chipset), several channels 3.1 and SATA passes through the socket
- The fastest processor for LGA1156 from the number is equipped with a graphic core (it is worthwhile, by the way, like Core i7-2600)
- The fastest Core i5 of the previous generation (has the same starting frequency as the new Core i5-2300, and the vacation price is like Core i5-2500)
- The fastest Core i7 for LGA1156
- The fastest quad-core x86 processor
- Generally the fastest x86 processor :)
- K is a unlocked multiplier and overclocking;
- S - reduced power consumption;
- T - very reduced;
- E - CPU for embedded systems;
- C and R - chips with IRIS graphics.

As part of this review, the most common modification of Socket Intel processor connectors will be considered. This eminent manufacturer of computing equipment with enviable regularity updates the nomenclature of its products. Therefore, almost every two years, he appears a new socket that is incompatible with the previously existed.
What is "socket"?
Initially, microprocessors were planted on a system board. But then the leading manufacturers refused such a layout. After all, it is much more convenient to install a special connector for the CPU on the motherboard. You can then configure the computer properly and select those components that will best meet its requests.
The microprocessor mounting connector on the motherboard is called a professional computational jargon Socket. Intel, as previously noted, very often updates its computing platforms. Therefore, it is quite difficult to understand such a variety of unprepared to the user. It is the review of these computer platforms that is devoted to this small material.
LGA775. Platform features
Intel's processor connector debuted in the computer technology market in 2004. He came to replace the key difference from its predecessor - this is supporting technology 64-bit calculations. All previously existing platforms could handle the code only in a 32-bit format. Initially, this connector was installed in the Pentium lines chips or Celeron in the same two-core architecture based on the NetBurst code name. Then, this list was complemented by the first representatives of the Core line based on the new microarchitecture of the same name - these are dual-core 2 Duo and 4-nuclear 2 quad.
To date, this hardware platform is outdated entirely and completely. The last semiconductor chips in its framework were issued in 2010. Now Intel has completely abandoned the support of data of computing solutions, since they have an extremely low level of speed, which does not allow such a CPU to process a complex program code.
LGA1156 platform. Her features
The LGA1156 platform appeared on the shelves of specialized computer stores in 2009. Within its framework, high-performance microprocessors Intel i5 and i7 appeared for the first time. The segment of the initial and mid-level solutions occupied Pentium and I3 Linek CPUs, respectively. The budget niche was filled with representatives of the Celeron family. All chips for this socket had three-digit marking and belonged to the first generation of microprocessors under the core code name. This distribution of computing devices of this eminent producer has been preserved to this day.
The first important difference between these microprocessors from the predecessors was that they were necessarily completed with a 3-level cache memory system. At the same time, previously existing models could boast of only two levels. Also in the chips, the manufacturer included the chipset along with the RAM controller and the integrated graphics core. Also, the presence of NT technology allowed one computing kernel to simultaneously process two streams of code. All this in the amount is essential against the background of the predecessors raised the performance of stationary computers. But at the moment this computer platform is also outdated.
Connector for his differences
At the very beginning of 2011, the processor connector Intel in the market of computer technologies was successfully debuted. The nomenclature and processor models in this case did not change dramatically. Only if the labeling consisted of three digits, now it has already included four numbers.
The second generation of CPU based on the Core architecture had the designations 2xxx, and the third - 3xxx. Also, the layout of chips changed insignificantly. If earlier there were two separate substrates for the computing part and for integrated graphics, now all the elements were combined on one substrate.
Chips I7 included 4 code processing modules and 8 logic flows. In turn, Intel i5 had only 4 kernels. At the same time, NT technology was not supported by representatives of this line, and they were processed into all the same 4 streams. In the general, these two Linek CPUs were that they supported Turbobust technology and could automatically increase their clock frequency. The remaining chips of the presence of such an option could not boast. The I3 model processors were completed only by two computing modules that the program code could handle in 4 streams. The younger modifications of the chips of the Celeron and Pentium series were equipped with two code processing units.
LGA1150 connector. His specification
The next connector for the CPU debuted in 2013. This Socket Intel was designated as LGA1150. It was intended for the installation of microprocessors for desktop systems based on the computational architecture of the Core 4th and 5th generation with the designations of 4xxx and 5xxx, respectively.
The layout of the computing part of chips remained unchanged, but the graphic part was radically recycled, and its productivity increased at times. Also was changed and the fifth generation of computing devices was already produced according to the standards of 14 nm.
The key innovation in this situation was reduced power consumption. This was achieved by recycling the power system. The latter circumstance allows you to automatically disable the computing elements unused during operation and reduce PC power consumption.
Characteristics of this connector
In 2015, a new CPU connector was appeared on the shelves according to the leading semiconductor giant - Intel Socket 1151. You can install Core 6th and 7th generation chips. In general, the layout, technical specifications and characteristics of these computing devices repeated precursors. Only they were higher than the frequencies, but the increase was insignificant.
It should also be noted that the moment that the microprocessors of the Pentium 7th generation gained support for the technology of logical multithreading NT. It raised their speed and put in one row with chips I3. That is, such chips could handle information in 4 streams.
The energy efficiency of chips remained at the same level, as the technological process did not undergo any significant changes. Also, the built-in graphic video card was upgraded, and its speed increased.
LGA1151 V.2. Features
Cardinal changes The leading manufacturer of computing equipment in the face of Intel introduced under the updated platform LGA1151V.2. She debuted at the end of 2017. Physically, this connector is identical to the previously considered LGA1151. But only at the program level it is forbidden to install chips of the 6th and 7th generations. Intel Socket Processors is designed to install the 8th generation CPU. In the future, new microprocessors can be installed in it, which semiconductor gigant plans to announce in the fall of 2018.
The layout of chips has undergone significant changes. Flags I7 were equipped with 6 cores and 12 threads. Six nuclei and the same streams had the model Socket LGA1151 V.2 in this case. Allows you to install four-core modifications I3. The younger models of microprocessors have not changed.
The technological process remained on all the same 14 nm as the level of energy consumption. The clock frequencies of microprocessors were significantly increased. In this case, the flagship could function at a record high frequency of 5 GHz, but only if the TurBobust mode is activated.
Conclusion
Within the framework of this small review, the main modifications of connectors for Socket Intel chips were considered. This manufacturer regularly updates its computing platforms, and in two years later the new computer has time to hope hopelessly. Of course, its performance still remains at the permissible level, but more advanced new PCs appear with greater speed of work.
This approach allows to increase the performance of stationary computers, but at the same time in such a set of sockets can be easily lost. A particularly unprepared novice specialist. It was the solution to this question mostly and is devoted to this review.
Socket (breaking - socket) of the central processor is a connector located on the computer motherboard to which the central is connected. The processor before it is installed in the motherboard must approach it on the socket. It is very easy to figure out what is a processor socket, if you remember that the latter is a chip, only relative to large sizes. The socket is located on the motherboard, looks like a low rectangular design with a plurality of holes, the number of which corresponds to the processor legs. For reliable fixation of the inserted chip in socket, a mechanical latch of a special design is used. Note that Intel, in contrast to AMD, has recently uses a different principle of compounding the processor and fees.
Sometimes the forums ask the question of which socket to choose. In fact, you must first select the processor, and already under it - fee with an appropriate socket. However, it should be considered one important point. Intel is "famous" by the fact that often every new generation of processors involves the use of a new socket. This may lead to the fact that a recently purchased computer on the basis of the processor of this company in a few years will be difficult to modernize due to the incompatibility of the installed microprocessor and the new offered by the market. AMD attitude towards buyers is more loyal: the change of sockets is slower, reverse compatibility is usually maintained. Although, times change.

Socket A. This connector is known as the Socket 462 is a socket for processors from Athlon Thunderbird models to the Athlon XP / MP 3200+ model, as well as for the AMD manufacturer processors such as Sempron and Duron. The design is made in the form of a ZIF socket having 453 workflows (9 contacts are blocked, but, despite this, the name 462 is applied in the title). System bus for Sempron, XP Athlon has a frequency of 133 MHz, 166 MHz and 200 MHz. The mass of coolers for Socket A, recommended by AMD should not exceed 300 grams. The use of more heavy coolers (coolers) can lead to mechanical damage and even lead to the failure of the processor power system. Supports processors with a frequency of 600 MHz (for example, Duron) and to 2300 MHz values \u200b\u200b(meaning Athlon XP 3400+, which never went on sale).

Socket AM3 is a desktop processor socket that is the further development of the Socket AM2 + model. This connector has a support for DDR3 memory, as well as higher speeds of the Hypertransport tire. The first processors using the Phenom II X3 710-20 and Phenom II X4 model 805, 910 and 810 were used by this connector.
Socket AM3 + (Socket 942) - Modification of Socket AM3, designed for processors with the code name "Zambezi" (microarchitecture - bulldozer). On some motherboards with AM3 socket, you can update the BIOS and use the processors with AM3 + socket. But when using AM3 + processors on motherboards with AM3, it may be possible to obtain data from the temperature sensor on the processor. Energy saving mode may not work due to the lack of support for the rapid switching of the kernel voltage performed by Socket AM3. Socket AM3 + on motherboards - black, while AM3 is white. The diameter of the holes under the conclusions of the processors with Socket AM3 + exceeds the diameter of the holes under the conclusions of the processors with the Socket AM3 - 0.51 mm against the previous 0.45 mm.

Finally came long-awaited moment for many when you can get acquainted with the performance of Intel processors for the new platform LGA1155! True, as last year, he fell accomplished for the holidays, but he recovered from recreation, the more interesting to go to the store :) By the way, not only the date Rodnitis today's event with the processor announcement on the Clarkdale kernel a year ago The fact is that the story with LGA1156 is essentially repeated - the announcement of new processors is stretched into several stages. Today we learn all the details about the quad-core models of the architecture of Sandy Bridge, but more accessible dual-cores will have to wait almost a month and a half. "Folk" same Pentium and at all in the first quarter do not fall.
But still one and a half - not four, Pentium will appear much more than one, prices for them are expected more humane than on the only processor (well, well - one and a half) of this family under LGA1156, and Celeron on the horizon can be seen: in a word, in the company "Stretched start" LGA1156 and similar errors will most likely not do. Thus, the LGA1155 somewhere starting from the second and third quarter of this year, finally, to abolish the gripped constructive LGA775, and by the end of the year it will end with LGA1156. But for some time, these three platforms will exist in parallel that there is a couple with the surviving LGA1366 (and it is still accurate to live until the end of the year) will only strengthen the market. However, these are the harsh realities of the modern market and can hardly change them anymore. It remains only to study everything carefully and always make the right choice :)
The theoretical part today will not be. The fact is that we have already had materials on this topic, and more detailed learning microarchitectures are not far off. In general, we will not twist theoretics :) Also behind the scenes, we will leave the performance of the performance and functionality of the graphics core - this is also a separate and serious topic to which we will return to a detailed study in the near future. At the moment, the main thing is to study the performance of the processor part itself and comparing it with competing products both Intel and AMD. What we offer and go.

In the family of processors under the LGA1156, two Core i7 ruler processor appeared first and only one Core i5, now the ratio of the opposite is one to three. It is simply explained: the older Core i7-800 is still on the market and have adequate performance, so you should not interfere too much. But Core i5 is too different as the company, which includes fast, but deprived graphics of processors of the 700th series and equipped with graphics, but weak (due to only two cores) Core i5-600. This is the same imbalance in Intel and decided to eliminate first. Note that now Core i5 is always Four cores, and the "old" option "Two cores / four streams" is present only in a cheaper family of Core i3. But these processors will come out a little later, since Core i3-500 is not so bad now.
What shows a comparison of technical characteristics? If the Core i5-700 and Core i7-800 differed only in the presence / absence of hyper-threading support and frequencies, now the differences have become slightly deepest: I5 also have a cache memory. Moreover, a ruler is in an interesting way - the step of starting clock frequencies is uneven, but at the maximum frequency in the boom mode "everything as it should": a hundred in the index is equal to 300 MHz clock frequency. A very serious difference, since Intel, and AMD has already learned us to the fact that the adjacent processors in the ruler differ only on the unit of the multiplier. It is still difficult to say whether the concept will continue in the future or in the company will go to the seal of the ranks, therefore we will postpone this issue for the future. In our opinion, "not part" is very useful - there are too many processors in the market, in which it is too easy to get confused. But certain moves can be - otherwise the Core i5-2300 looks slightly strange, in which the price is only slightly less than that of 2400, but the lag on the clock frequency is larger than the difference between older models. Is that in one-two-billing applications it is reduced, but they are becoming less and less. Moreover, in favor of multithreading "votes" and the presence of background processes, which sometimes require not so few computing resources (and some of these background applications also become multi-threaded).
But with the TURBO Boost itself, somehow ... expected more. And the maximum increase has decreased to 400 MHz (do not forget that one "new" step is 3/4 of the old one), and the dependence on the number of working nuclei is not doing anywhere, although rumors wandered that now you can increase the frequency of all nuclei at maximum. The only significant change is now processors have the right to accelerate "to the last": the boost mode is admissible to the TDP level (it used to be disconnected at a lower boundary), and if necessary for a short time - and higher. Thus, a certain increase in performance with a large load should be observed. What - check.
The main thing for overclocking lovers is that Turbo Boost in new incarnation supports such a function as "Limited Unlocked Core" - the ability to establish multipliers to the value "Max Turbo +4". That is, in other words, according to Intel documentation, a completely ordinary Core i7-2500 will be able to work at a frequency of 3.9 GHz when loading all nuclei, and when only one is loaded and reaching the frequency of 4.1 GHz! The reality was even more interesting - the Gigabyte fee, on which we conducted testing a new family, multipliers, of course, limited, but ... but for 2600, for example, the maximum value (namely 42) could be set for any number of active cores, i.e., a slight movement of the hand processor with a clock frequency of 3.4 GHz turns into a model with a frequency of 4.2 GHz. And we have strong suspicions that other fees on the P67 chipset (except may be produced by the Intel itself) will behave in the same way.
Full unlocked Core supports and "Fully Unlocked Core", which allows you to use a multiplier to 57 in any mode. However, this requires a K-series processor. Note that they are not only interesting to the overclocking lovers (and may not so much: as shown above, you can add 700-800 MHz on conventional processors): The K-series uses the video card series HD 3000, but in conventional models - all Only HD 2000, which disables half of the executive modules. Thus, these processors will be extremely helpful and fans of integrated graphics that will use them on boards on the H67 chipset. But on the P67, it will not use the built-in video card (since there is no FDI link in it), but fully can be "distilled" during acceleration, as mentioned above. Moreover, during overclocking, not only the cores, but also in memory: despite the fact that the officially supported maximum mode is DDR3-1333, this is true only for H67. At the P67, higher multipliers are also available, which gives memory frequency up to 2133 MHz. Yes, and the TDP level on these boards can be customized manually, increasing it during acceleration or, on the contrary, reducing to save energy (which was previously available only for extreme processors). In general, working out processors and chipsets for LGA1155, Intel has taken into account the entire past experience, to induce order and in their comparative positioning :)

As it should be when testing a new processor family, competitors will be greater than the subjects. Especially competitors produced in the same plants. The company of the Intel processors selected at first glance looks too motley, but the selection logic is simple - in the table (from left to right) are presented:
For the last two models, of course, we need mainly from curiosity - anyone announced today under LGA1155 is not ashamed to them and lose :) However, there are serious suspicions that the "extremal" I7-975 Extreme to lose the Core i7-2600 will fail (as He would never try), but the comparison with i7-980x on a wide range of applications is considerable interest.

We now turn to AMD. Obviously, only the partisan struggle and actions from ambushes remain on the battlefield of the battlefield. In any case, this situation will last until SuperWaffe rolls out from the laboratories under the codenamed "Bulldozer", but up to this point there is quite a lot of time. "Green Partizan", in the form of a variety of Athlon II, we will not touch today, but we will consider a couple of "tank ambushes". As the first, the Phenom II X4 970, a processor with a maximum guaranteed clock frequency of clearly guaranteed in the market (Core i7-2600 reaches 3.5 GHz, only in the boost mode, and others and are unable to). As a second - Phenom II X6 1090T. Exit to the market of this line of spring last year allowed the company again to return to the segment of the market "200-300 dollars", since the processors were very successful taken by a niche between the older Core i5 and the younger Core I7 - we will see if they will be able to save positions, taking into account the product range update Intel. Justice for the sake of the sake of the family, and the X4 family in the near future expect replenishment (more precisely, the 1100t appeared at the end of last year, and 975 - now), but since it is only an insignificant increase in clock frequency, it is obvious that a high-quality picture is a little more Productive than those used, Phenom II will not change.

Testing
Performance testing technique (List of software used and testing) is described in detail in a separate article. For the convenience of perception, the results in diagrams are presented as a percentage (for 100% AMD Athlon II X4 620 is received in each of the tests). Detailed results in absolute values \u200b\u200bare available as a table in Microsoft Excel format.
3D visualization
The first group of programs - and the first discoveries. As we already know, in these tasks, a large number of calculation flows is required, so that the first place comes from which these the most streams (in the amount of two or three) are "driven" through the processor. That is, in other words, this is exactly the sphere where the optimization of architecture can affect the best way. And they have affected - already Core i5-2300 (the youngest and cheap) overtook all the processors that we tested earlier. Including and extreme Core i7-975, which one has not managed to defeat in this test. The rest of the representatives of the new architecture, for quite understandable reasons, is even faster, so they just do not compete with anyone.
3D rendering
As it seems to us, the last word in these tasks Sandy Bridge will tell if the programs will appear in the programs of the new AVX vector instruction set. In the meantime, this is "pure" mathematics, and very well parallel, so the more calculation flows - the better: the strength of the straw lomit. However, the high efficiency of each calculation flow affects here. In particular, the new Core i5 is faster than older with the same number of kernels and on a comparable time frequency of percent for 10 (looking into the diagram, do not forget that i5-760 in the boost operates at a frequency of 2.93 GHz, and i5-2300 - Only 2.9 GHz). But the transition to a more subtle technical process allows new processors to work at higher frequencies, as a result of which they can compete with old Core I7, and with six-core Phenom II X6. Moreover, with the latter - even despite their greater frequency;) However, miracles in the world does not happen, so that the six-core Core I7 are inaccessible, but they are much more expensive. Therefore, the second place of Core i7-2600 is not a defeat, but a brilliant victory.
Scientific and engineering computing
Another at the heart of its low-flower group with small multi-threaded impressions, which distinguishes it from the first. But not much - the first two places occupied processors under the LGA1155 (the first was already divided already two, which once again shows that the technology of Hyper-Threading is still not "free"), and the "speaking" Core i5-2300 lost only by Multrublev Extreme processors of previous families.
Graphic editor
As we have already written more than once, applications included in this group are very different preferences: Adobe Photoshop "loves" a lot of calculation fluxes, they are not needed for the three amateur programs (and even interfere with sometimes). Well, since their three per one, nothing surprising is that previously very good summary results were demonstrated by dual-core (but high-frequency) Core i5-600, no. More given only extremals, where there are many nuclei, and frequencies are also rather big. "Family 2000" is suitable for these programs even better, and in Photoshop its results are very good - here you have new leaders. In particular, the Core i7-2600 is shocked, which in the Adobe software package almost caught a much more expensive six-core Core i7-970, and in the three remaining applications, there is simply no competitors. The Core i5-2400 also showed a similar Core i5-680 (previously leading) performance, but almost one and a half times he went around in Photoshop, which allowed this inexpensive model for the totality of the results to take place among the former leaders. Core i5-2500 for quite understandable reasons faster and lags behind only from Core i7-2600. In general, just the youngest Core i5-2300 is not shocked. Although if you remember that its wholesale price is only $ 177, and "not shocked" on the background of processors to a whole hundred (and even four - if you remember how much Core i7-880 is worth it, to which the "baby" is from the new line A somewhat closer than to the equally-frequency Core i5-760) dollars are more expensive, it is also just a wonderful result.
Archivers
7-zip is able to use so many cores how much will find, all three subtests "love" a large amount of cache memory, and the last, it seems, only them is interested - in general, nothing surprising that here new Core i5 spoke not so perfect As in previous groups: only four streams and reduced to 6 MB cache make themselves felt. But "not perfect" does not mean bad - they easily bypassed all AMD processors and managed to go about the level of old Core i7, which cost more about a hundred. But in the new Core i7-2600 and the support of Hyper-Threading is, and cache is 8 MB, so that its only competitor is an extreme Core i7-980x (even 975 - and slower).
Compilation
Visual Studio turned out to be not the most loyal to the new processor application - apparently due to the fact that the compilation task already was the best optimized. However, Core i5-2300 is a bit, but won from Core i5-760: taking into account the smaller capacitance of cache memory (and it has a considerable value in this test) in new items, it deserves a positive assessment. The increase (albeit small) in fact is of strategic importance - as we remember, previously in this program were very good, Phenom II X6 was very good, located above Core i5 and older models getting to younger Core i7. And now? And now with compilation quad-core (Moreover, "honest" - without any Hyper-Threading) Core i5-2400 copes exactly at the same speed as six-core Phenom II X6 1055T (Let the youngest in the family, but more expensive)! Yes, and the next model with an index of 1075t is not far away, only by one point by bypassing Core i5-2500. The older models, as we see, are still faster even the new Core i5 and they can already be compared with the old Intel processor on a $ 294 bar, but the new for the same money rode far ahead, and lags only from six-core processors intel itself. Moreover, it is impossible to say that it is very noticeable - from the current extremal Core i7-980x separates it to some 10%.
Java.
But SpecJVM surprised little, because we are already accustomed to bringing this test as a good example of multi-core optimization. However, apparently, its ability to extend to the region with eight-ten threads, but no more. While processors were competed with different number of cores, but on the basis of close architectures, it gave an obvious priority to more multithreaded models, but as soon as we began to compare models with different streams efficiency ... In general, Core i7-980x is still the fastest, but superiority Above Core i7-2600 has become purely formal. Well, the Core i5-2400 somehow "did not notice" that Core i7-880 supports twice as much streams of calculation and has a close clock frequency, and almost caught up with it :)
Such an increase turned into a complete defeat of AMD processors - earlier Phenom II X4 970 was faster than all Core I5, and Phenom II X6 1090T overtook any Core i7-800. Now Phenom II X4 970 slower All Core i5 for LGA1155, and Phenom II X6 1090T lags behind Core i5-2500. And nothing surprising that with new Core i7 for LGA1155 Six-nuclear AMDs in principle cannot compete in performance.
Internet browsers
Previously, this group of applications was the most loyal to Phenom II x4, since even the model with an index 965 cost all Intel processors. Now, as you can see, repeat the results of the past tops may even Core i5-2300, Core i5-2400 overtakes Phenom II x4 965 and only does not reach 970, and 2500 and 2600 are simply the fastest of the market presented on the market. Without any reservation :) However, as we have repeatedly spoken, to attach great importance to the results of these tests on top processors, from a practical point of view, it does not make sense, but from the point of view of the research we mark the check mark, which disappeared, perhaps, the last group, where AMD processors kept leadership.
Audio coding
Another group of applications, which eventually can win a lot from the implementation of AVX, but still operates only by the "old" code. In addition, as more than once it has already been said, testing conditions are most of favorably with processors that can simultaneously perform a large number of calculation flows. Therefore, at first glance, the new Core I5 \u200b\u200bis not so good here. But if you look closely, it becomes obvious that this is the level of "old" Core i7 or Phenom II x6, i.e. more expensive CPU. In any case, earlier, no quad-core crystal here 150 points did not recoup, and now they are immediately gaining three and more. Core i7-2600 The same, as expected, occupies an honorable second place, retarded only from the six-core (and duodencies) Core i7-980x.
Video coding
A similar previous picture. Only now the lag 2600 from 980x has become more, but it can still be the devices of completely different price classes. The main thing is that new devices are able to defeat not only direct competitors, but also on the step above the processors.
Games
Even in this group of applications ended stagnation. After which we started to rest in a far from the slower video card - for example, in Stalker and Resident Evil 5, all new processors showed the same results :) which, it should be noted, turned out to be much higher than all old ones. In general, the search for the best game processor, perhaps, should be considered solved in all cases when you can spend more than $ 150 to buy - such is Core i5-2300. Either, if finance is not so sorry, then Core i5-2400, which is quite slightly more expensive, but "keeps" at the level of the old extremals. "Over the scenes" remain top video cards or Multi-GPU, but here it seems to us, the processor price issue is not determining. Moreover, even the Core i7-2600 is not too expensive. And it can be dispersed at 400-800 MHz, if desired ... or pay extra little at 2600k and dispersed that even more. Either save a hundred and make the same procedure with Core i5-2500K :) In general, the question of choice will be only before those who need a quick processor for games for $ 100 or some of the principle I want to take something very expensive.
TOTAL
There was a time when the senior models of Phenom II X4 were sold at a price of about 300 dollars, but the appearance of Core i5-750 "Ranged" all AMD processors in the price niche "up to 200 dollars". Getting out of it, the company could only releasing Phenom II X6. Now, it seems, the story is repeated: already six-core Phenom II need to be sold at prices not exceeding $ 200 - to the joy of some fans, but to the horror of shareholders. (After all, it is obvious that quad-core processors produced under the technical process 32 nm in the production of cheaper six-core at 45 nm, despite the presence of the first video cards.) So it will be curious to see how "green" will be filled out of this position - before the release of the Bulldozer That remains quite a long time.
Another family of processors was not lucky much stronger. Yes, in essence Core i5-600 can be sent to the dump of history in full. While it was necessary to make a choice: "Four cores or integrated graphics?", It was something to talk about. However, now the choice is obvious - four cores (faster than old) and Integrated graphics (faster than old) at the same time. New Core i5 is definitely better than old. It looks a bit strange, except that the current pricing policy: 2400 distinguishes from 2300 as many as 300 MHz and only $ 7, and from 2500 - only 200 MHz and 20 dollars, but it is quite an extra charge for the steepness. Moreover, it may be, after the release of new i3 (which will finally write down all the processors on the Clarkdale kernel), "Lanenka" will be remade in 155-177-204, which will be more logical.
If new i5s turned out to be so good, then what can I say about Core i7-2600? An excellent processor, the absolute triumph who managed to spoil only the extremal Core i7-980x. But then only in the overall standings - it is easy to see that in half of the test groups, even this expensive device can now compete only with new Core i5, significantly pulling forward only in cases. Yes, this is as long as the hard share of hexaders in a desktop environment: an extremely small percentage of software can well use their potential opportunities. In Intel, it seems to us, very correctly decided that the time of multi-core processors on the desktop has already come, but "a lot" still means "four". For extremals, it is possible and more, but only if they are ready to pay for it :) And regularly, the same 980x competed regularly with the same extreme models, and now the budget does not always benefit. And the previous extremal with a crash lost everywhere with the usual Core i7-2600. Top, but ordinary. In general, the standard for Intel practice is a new family of processors unconditionally better than the old one, and the older models in it are not worse than old extremals. Moreover, that it is now gratifying, even overclocking lovers and other optimizations now it is not necessary to prepare another thousand dollars: there are not such expensive Core i5-2500k and I7-2600K. And even more universal than their predecessors in the K-series, since not only fully unlocked multipliers are interesting, but also a more powerful graphics core.
Summing up, does the output of new processors are successful? Yes, count. Even despite the releasing constructive execution, which once again will force the upgrade lovers to change fees: new processors are good enough to make the temptation to do this procedure even among the owners of systems with LGA1366 (at least because to change any i7-920 on i7-970 will be more expensive and less interesting than to take I7-2600K on a new board) or LGA1156. Not to mention those who still hold for the LGA775 - it's time to finally send any Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad too. Well, those who buy computers assemble, get just a small gift from the company - for the same money as in December last year, they can acquire percentage of EDAC for 20 more processor power :)
Hello everyone, dear blogs blog! Today, generations of Intel processors will be considered - the table by year, the release date of each, as well as how to find out what generation processor in the computer. It will be about Core I7. Pentium and i5 - themes for individual posts.
From this article you will learn:
Brief characteristic series
Core i7 - Top processors from Intel, which occupy flagship and subflagaman positions. Before the appearance of i9, they were the most powerful, yielding only to server "Kseonam". The model range is made for more than 10 years and is designed to use in powerful gaming and working computers.
For all this time, 9 generations of this CPU model have been created. Unlike younger models, get confused in them easier, as there are several sinysk in each line, which are characterized by operating parameters. 
Conditionally, these chips can be divided into stock and advanced. The latter have their own "ecosystem" from the respective systemics, chipsets and sockets. They relate to the so-called series X. The following notation is also used in the marking:
Consider the history and features of all generations of this model.
1 generation
The first series of this model went on sale in 2008. Even before the appearance of i3 and i5, this line has moved to new neiming. Chips with model numbers 920, 930, 940, 950, 960, 965, 975 were created in the process of 45 nm. All CPUs had 4 kernels that worked at eight streams.
Under these chips, a new platform has been developed with a 1336-pin connector and DDR3 memory modules.
After the appearance in 2009, a more convenient socket 1156, a series with numbers 860, 860, S 870, 875K and 880 was released. The characteristics did not differ from their predecessors, but the assembly was cheaper due to cheaper motherboards with such a socket.
The controller was simplified, so only two memory channels were supported. 
The top of this generation was the CPU with the architecture of Gulftown. Such CPUs received indices 970, 980, 980x and 990x. They were created in 32 nm process and were six-core. Supported a three-channel memory mode and connected via socket 1366.
2 generation
The architecture was changed to Snady Bridge and finally switched to 32 nm technical process. In the basic series, processors 2600, 2600s, 2600k, 2700K - quad-core, eight-way, worked with single-channel memory and were mounted in new 1155 sockets.
A logical continuation was the model under the platform 2011, which changed outdated 1366. This is a CPU with codes 3820, 3930K, 3960s, 3970s. The younger model had 4 kernels, the elders 6. The novelty was the four-channel controller for the DDR III memory.
3 generation
The Ivy Bridge architecture has been used, a modified version of the predecessor with a 22 nm technical process. As part of the line, chips with indexes 3770, 3770s, 3770t, 3770k are quad-core, with support for two DDR3 channels. 
For the first time an integrated video card was applied. Chips could be mounted on a socket 1155.
As part of the X series, modifications with code numbers 4820k, 4930k and 4960x were released. Installed in Socket 2001 and maintained 4 DDR3 channels.
4 generation
Created large number of modifications on the architecture of Haswell - 4765T, 4770, 4770К, 4770s, 4770t, 4770te, 4771, 4785t, 4790, 4790t, 4790s, 4790k. Mounted on boards with a new socket 1150 and had a built-in HD 4600 graphic chip.
5 generation
There were no mass production of processors in this series. The manufacturer mastered the 14 nm technical process on the Broadwell architecture. A total of two models were created: 5775С and 5775R - the same chip with the IRIS Pro 6200 graphics accelerator.
The series X created models 6800K, 6850K, 6900K and 6950x. They worked with four-channel DRD 4 memory and put in the 2011 third version slot.
6 generation
On the 14 Nm Teh Process, the manufacturer produced the sixth generation, represented by models 6700, 6700K, 6700T and 6700T. These CPUs had four cores, the built-in HD 530 video card and was built on the Skylake architecture.
Dual controller maintained DDR3 and DDR4. Mounted on the 1151 connector. 
In the top category released three modifications: 7800x, 7820x, 9800x. They were installed in the socket 2066.
7 generation
Used the upgraded architecture of Kaby Lake, which was produced by the process of 14 nm. We released models 7700, 7700t and 7700K. Compatible with fees 1151. In the X-series, only one chip is released - 7740x, quadmaster for the 2066 platform.
8 generation
The chips of the eighth generation, based on the architecture of Coffee Lake, appeared in 2017. The model range includes 8700, 8700K and 8700t, which had 6 cores. The socket is updated to 1151 second versions, the support of DDR3 was removed. Limited circulation released 8086k, dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Intel 8086 CPU.
9 generation
Chips released in 2019, cardinal innovations did not receive. The same architecture and the same technical process. While the last model range is two processors: 9700KF and 9700K. 
Work in the same boards as the CPU of the previous generation. The cores of these chips are already eight.
When buying a new processor, it is possible to determine to which generation it refers to this description. No more models were produced, so it is easy to refer.
