Computex has just opened its doors as planned, x79 cards are honored. They will all be available in the last quarter of this year. They are designed to receive the Sandy Bridge E, high-end processors built on Intel's 32 nm architecture that was released earlier this year (see "Intel Core 2000: The test of Sandy Bridge") .
The reference design requires four DDR3 slots and a Socket LGA2011 relatively large with a system of two levers. Each manufacturer then decided to stand out. It should nevertheless bear in mind that the specifications are not yet finalized and that there may be changes before marketing cards.
Gigabyte has introduced the GA-X79A UD3 is the only Computex to have five PCI-Express 16x 3.0. The mark therefore focuses on systems and SLI or CrossFire probably intended his model to workstations connected to a large number of screens. Other manufacturers are limited to three or four PCI-Express 16x 3.0 for multi-GPU configurations classic.
ECS showed the X79R-A which has the distinction of officially take charge of the memory modules clocked at over 2600 MHz. The manufacturer tries to attract overclockers mainly by promising stability. For the record, the Sandy Bridge-E will have frequencies similar to today's Core i7, Intel, leaving the fans happy to push their processor (see "No increase in frequency for Sandy Bridge-E").
The memory controller of Sandy Bridge-E officially supports DDR3-1600. It seems that ECS is also the only one not to have SATA 6Gb / s SAS compatible. The Quantum Force x79 Foxconn has decided to focus on storage. It is the only advantage of all the connections offered by the SATA chipset.
The menu offers eight ports SATA 6 Gb / s SAS compatible ports, two SATA 6Gb / s SATA ports and four standard 3Gb / s. Usually there are between eight and ten ports SATA 6 Gb / s, with a majority supports SAS and two SATA ports 3 Gb / s. Foxconn has also placed two eSATA ports and more.
The Asus C1X79 EVO opts for diversity with only three PCI-Express 3.0 x16, two PCI-Express x1 and one PCI-Express 4x, two SAS ports and eight port SATA 6 Gb / s ports and two SATA 3 Gb / s. ASRock, a subsidiary of Asus, has an identical card, ASRock x79 Extreme4, except that the PCI-Express 4x is replaced by a PCI slot.
