Gulftown’s arrival ushered in a renaissance of sorts for Intel’s LGA1366 platform, which includes the X58 Express core-logic chipset. The 980X’s Gulftown silicon is a native six-core design built using 32-nano fabrication technology, so it’s as cutting-edge as desktop CPUs get. That’s uncommon for a halo product that costs an even grand, but we shouldn’t be surprised. This restriction applies only to 32-bit Windows XP 64-bit Windows XP is supported by Intel drivers.įor motherboards with X79 chipset but with third party SATA disk controllers, 32-bit Windows XP AHCI drivers may still be supported by the disk controller vendor (non-Intel).Believe it or not, Intel’s top-of-the-line Core i7-980X Extreme is a pretty compelling value, at least within the context of a high-end system build. For users that dual boot Windows XP with another operating system installed in AHCI mode, this means changing to IDE mode every time to boot into Windows XP and changing back to SATA to boot the other OS, or installing the other OS which supports AHCI also in IDE mode to prevent switching the setting in the BIOS each time. Windows XP can be installed in IDE mode but without SATA features enabled. The X79 chipset does not support installing Windows XP in AHCI mode for Intel's Serial ATA controllers as Intel won't release AHCI drivers for 32-bit Windows XP. Newer Core and Xeon processors address 40 PCI Express 3.0 lanes directly through Sandy Bridge-E architecture (Xeon) and Ivy Bridge architecture (Core processors). The added pins allow for more PCI Express lanes and interconnects for server class processors. The X79 chipset is made to work with the Intel LGA 2011 (Socket R) which features 2011 copper pins. 8-layer printed circuit board (PCB), 2 oz copper recommended.Supports Intel Extreme Tuning Utility 3.0 (XTU).Supports processor, memory and chipset overclocking.Optional Intel Rapid Storage Technology enterprise 3.0.Integrated Gigabit Ethernet MAC (Lewisville PHY).
14 Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 ports.2× Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0 (6Gbit/s) ports & 4x SATA 2 (3Gbit/s) ports.The first product was announced on November 14, 2011, for "Extreme" CPUs using the LGA 2011 socket. The supported CPUs feature quad channel memory controllers, and a certain number of PCIe lanes, the chipset features additional PCIe lanes it is designed to connect an Intel processor through a DMI 2.0 interface to peripheral devices. Socket and chipset support CPUs targeted at the high-end desktop (HEDT) and enthusiast segments of the Intel product lineup: Core i7-branded and Xeon-branded processors from the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPU architectures. The Intel X79 ( codenamed Patsburg) is a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) designed and manufactured by Intel for their LGA 2011 (Socket R) and LGA 2011-1 (Socket R2). LGA 2011 also known as socket LGA 2011-1 and Socket R
