Intel Socket 771 Unmasked

February 23rd 2006 | CPUs & Chipsets

Intel’s Xeon will soon have a replacement for the 603/604 CPU socket: Socket 771. The socket will use a Land Grid Array (LGA), similar to the Socket 775 LGA sockets on desktop motherboads. This means upcoming server processors from Intel will use contact pads rather than pins to interface with the motherboard.

AMD’s future Opteron socket, Socket 1207, is also set to use an LGA interface.
