Intel Plans Two Enterprise-Grade Pentium LGA1356 Processors
Intel is planning to launch its newest line of enterprise-grade Pentium processors. A little later this year, Intel will launch Xeon E5-4600 processors which are built in the LGA2011 package, and support quad-socket servers, followed by Xeon E5-2400, which will be built in the new LGA1356 package. Designed for 2-socket servers, LGA1356 is a new package that's roughly as big as LGA1366, but has an entirely different pin layout. It retains the 2-chip (processor+PCH) system layout, and has pins for a triple-channel DDR3 memory controller, 24 PCI-Express 3.0 lanes, and one QuickPath Interconnect link (compared to two links on the LGA2011), which lets the processor talk to its only neighbour.
The LGA1356 chips slated for a little later this year include the Pentium 1403 and Pentium 1407. The Pentium 1403 is clocked at 2.60 GHz, and the Pentium 1407 at 2.80 GHz. Both chips are dual-core, capable of single-socket operation only, but retain triple-channel DDR3 and 24 PCI-Express lanes support. Both chips pack 5 MB of L3 cache. Features such as HyperThreading, vPro, and Turbo Boost might not make it to these chips' feature-set. This Intel's second round of enterprise-grade Pentium processors in recent times.

So why havent you moved up to 1155/2011 yourself
what do you know about FX architecture? :slap:
Feel free to start the Zambezi/Valencia/Interlagos lecture- I promise I'll be right back. So what? Single socket implies (by Red Machine) continuity. AM3/3+ might be as old as the hills- doesn't mean it's compatible with every CPU using AM3/3+
Go to the head of the class in remedial fanboyism.
