Intel’s Haswell chip will use a new socket
CHIPMAKER Intel hasn't released its Ivy Bridge chips yet but already we're getting details leaked about the even further off chip called Haswell.
Haswell will use a new LGA1150 socket instead of the LGA1155 socket that Sandy Bridge uses and Ivy Bridge will also use when it tips up next year. This means that to upgrade to Haswell, you will need a new motherboard featuring the LGA1150 socket.
The reason for this is a major rearrangement of the components on the chip resulting in a changed pin map. The chip initially will be fabbed at the 22nm process node and, as you can see in the image, a lot has been moved around.
Tweaktown said the rejig is partly due to "Haswell's higher bandwidth chipset bus" and, "It also throws away the separate power domain for the integrated graphics controller."
One leaked slide touts a boot time of two seconds due to hardware and software optimisations. It also mentions enhanced battery life, which we heard about at this year's Intel Developer Forum (IDF).
At IDF, Intel CEO Paul Otellini spoke about Ultrabooks running on Haswell, which will tip up in 2013. He said that Haswell could use 20 times less power than Intel's present chips and give laptops all day use and 10 days of connected standby.
There will be support for DDR3 memory, PCI-Express 3.0, Intel Turbo Boost technology, Hyper-Threading and power management. Haswell will also feature near field communications (NFC) and Thunderbolt technology.
Intel will offer the 'Shark Bay' platform in single and dual chip variants, with a low power Lynx chipset integrated into a dual-core Haswell chip. One of the chipmaker's other platform variants will push the Lynx chipset off-die. The two quad-core chips will be available in either BGA or rPGA packages.
With almost two years left until Intel's Haswell chips are due to tip up, Chipzilla will surely expand upon and further explain many of the platform details in these slides at future IDF sessions. µ

2 years into the future and we'll still be stuck at 4 cores? How depressing! We should be at 32 cores of mind-boggling FLOPitude by the end of 2012 gadamit. Guess I'll not be needing to upgrade my AMD Phenom Hexacore 1090T system anytime soon.
Really? Money ploy? That's all I read in the comments section...
Intel is evil they make crap & they are overpriced.
Well no one is forcing you to buy their shit, go buy AMD (who is selling a 5 yr+ old architecture & can't come up with a new architecture which beats their old one)
Money grab blah blah you frogot about the Phenom 1 cache mess? They issued a bios update which degraded performance just so that chip could run stable.
Did AMD do a recall then? No!
Say whatever you want every corporation wants to make money..if AMD's processor division dies which seems most likely..then Intel will deal with ARM.
Competition will be there always.
You make the choice what you want according to your budget.
Simple as that. Now stop posting shit on how Intel is evil & AMD is a good company & I need a new motherboard etc.
How long do you keep a motherboard anyway? I buy $50-$70 worth of mobos. only & update every 10-12 months.
If you buy $300 motherboards & bitch & complain how you cannot use it for 5-10 years...its pointless, your a fool.
I was getting excited by the chance to upgrade to a new motherboard again just to get the new chip, but then you tell me I have to wait TWO YEARS!! Well, at least I'll be able to buy an Ivy Bridge system and use it for a year before the new socket arrives.
Bruno, you're clueless. Clearly, you don't know what Haswell is. Ivy Bridge in 2012 is the lead product on 22nm. Haswell later in 2013, still on 22nm, has a revamped architecture that includes an on die VR
Even more hardwired DRM I see, and it all sounded so good until I saw that.
A Rejig with one less pin, another forced upgrade, was this really neccessary or is this to make up for the money spent on the
faulty Sandy Bridge chipsets p67 and h67 recall last year?
Really Intel im speechless.
Just a die shrink and now we need a new motherboard tsk tsk...
