Pictures of the LGA Opteron F

Darksaber · Jun 11, 2006

AMD is suppose to announce the new socket and Opterons on July 11th. DailyTech has some pictures of a dual core 2.66GHz Opteron F already. The OSA2218GAA6CQ is code named Santa Rosa. The CPU features DDR2-667, Pacifica virtualization support, Presido security extensions and 1207 land-grid array pins.

looking sweet

Remind me, what is the point of LGA again? So that you don't stab yourself when you're putting the processor in? Because otherwise I think that this is just a new socket to keep ordinary users (or overclockers more likely

) from buying Opertrons.

Darksaber · Jun 11, 2006

well the pin count has been rising all the time. This would mean that the pins wound need to become finer, and thus even more fragile. To put them on a mainboard is much better...first off all, they do not break of that easily, secondly...as a normal user thats something like 150 Dollars down the drain...instead of a CPU that costs maybe 3-4 times as much...

It's amazing how the light makes you want the processor even more...

Also, the damn thing won't get pulled out every time you try t remove the heatsink.

LGA allows for higher pin densities as well as a more robust CPU, as now there's absolutely nothing fragile on the CPU itself. Heck, I'd play hockey with one of those things without fear.

Do AMD a favor and blur the rest of the data matrix code in your first picture. I noticed you did it for the second one...

People like me in the machine vision industry could take the data matrix and decode it pretty easily...

Lots of error correction in that code....and I can make out about 75-80% of the cells in the code...

Bored nerds like me need SOMETHING to do on a sunday....

why not decode it for the fun of it...
sudoku's are boring anyways..

not my pics

they are from the linked source

Jimmy 2004 · Jun 11, 2006

Well, I remember the good old Pentium 1s with just a couple of rings of pins around the edges...

KennyT772 · Jun 11, 2006

yeah i have a few of those socket 7 cpus around here. im guessing in the neighborhood of 120-150 pins? anyone know?

Socket 7 had 321 pins IIRC.
