Hey everyone, this is Icarus here with another post. I’ve been reading up on the Intel X58 Motherboards that’ve been released during the November of 2008, and now I have more to write. This time, I’m going to talk about and explain what is new on this motherboard that no other motherboard has done.
Well, this motherboard chipset is obviously made by Intel. They’re the successors of the X48 series(which have not been too popular in the previous months) and the codename is “Tylersburg”. Yes, it is a weird codename, but a cool one nonetheless.
Now, onto the functions of the motherboard. There are three important things that have been added onto this motherboard. Here’s the list:
1. The motherboard uses the new Socket 1366 for the new Intel Core i7 processors
2. Support for Intel’s QuickPath Interconnect(QPI) system
3. Support for Triple-channel memory
Now, I know that a lot of this content does not make sense when you first see this list, but rest assured, all three categories will be explained in DETAIL. And, instead of writing with technological jargon that most people will not understand, these three topics will be explained in English that everyone will be able to understand. So, do not worry. Like I said in my other post, I am learning also, so I will be explaining in my own words what all three categories do, and how they will affect you.
Also, keep in mind that these are three NEW features of the motherboard. This motherboard also retains other older features such as Hyper-threading. I will be explaining more of those features later.
