Desktop Motherboards

Socket 1155 replaced the socket 1156, and was built for “second generation” Core CPUs. Supported chipset and according features are:

Socket 1366 was the first socket for high performing Core i7 8xx and 9xx CPUs. It had to have more pins for the three memory channels and all new QPI interconnect. There is just one chipset coming along with this socket, the Intel X58, more or less a QPI to PCI Express bridge.

Socket 2011, also known as “Socket R” replaces the LGA 1366 for current Core i7 2xxx series, which have integrated HD graphics now. There is one exception, the Core i7 3000 series processors, which come without a graphics core. Even more components went into these CPUs, so there is only a southbridge attached to the socket. Servers for Romley architecture will use the same socket in near future, so the desktop SKUs share the advantage of having 4 memory channels and increased bandwidth now.

Only available in ATX formfactor for expandability with Crossfire or SLi, PCI Express SSD cards or RAID controller, these boards were designed to provide extreme power for workstation, hardcore gaming, media editing and headroom for future needs.

Designed for the complete range of Core i3/i5 and i7 CPUs, including newer Celeron and Pentium “G” CPUs, these boards provide the performance needed to enable you to create, share, and enjoy digital entertainment.

Designed for business PCs, these SKUs offer new levels of manageability, security, and power-efficient performance.

Designed to deliver exactly what you expect – stability, reliability, affordability and expandability.

Designed to offer lower power use and a small footprint for embedded purposes, storage servers, media devices or connectivity systems. The boards capitalize on the Intel® Atom™ processor's unique features, which are already included by BGA technology.

Designed to build flexible, traditional configurations for the budget-conscious user, either with BGA Intel® Atom™ on board or the legacy Socket 775 for Core 2 and Pentium E Series CPUs.
