Is the 1151 processor suitable for 1150. What is the difference between the LGA1150 socket and the LGA1155 and which one is better

For the first time, Sandy Bridge processors with LGA1155 appeared in 2010, replacing not the most successful processors with an LGA1156 socket and a Lynnfield core. The new processors had greater performance and, at the same time, heated up noticeably less. Models with an unlocked multiplier made it possible to achieve record frequencies at the time of release. In 2012, processors with the Ivy Bridge core, using the same LGA1155 processor socket, saw the light. These chips belong to the third generation and differ, first of all, in support of PCI-E version 3.0. Thanks to this, those who supported them as quickly as Sandy Bridge gained popularity. Video card manufacturers also contributed to this by releasing top-end solutions with such an interface. For the sake of objectivity, it should be noted that the third generation processors had less overclocking potential compared to the second generation.

Socket LGA1150

Socket LGA1155

The fourth generation processors, Haswell, replaced Ivy Bridge. They brought with them not only a new level of performance, but also a new processor socket. The graphics integrated into the processor has undergone a major upgrade, and the performance has reached values ​​that allow you to play simple games quite comfortably. Almost simultaneously with the fourth generation, fifth-generation processors with the Broadwell core were released, which, at lower power consumption, provide performance similar to Haswell.

The presented table allows you to compare the listed processors:

To compare chipsets that support these processors, let's take older models whose names start with "Z"

To compare performance, consider 3 older processors of the second, third and fourth generations. The fifth generation does not make much sense to consider, since these CPUs are not created for high performance, but to improve performance per watt. Therefore, they are inferior in speed to fourth-generation processors.

The test results show how the performance of processors has increased from generation to generation. The exception is the gaming test based on the game Crysis Warhead. This is due to the fact that this game uses only one processor core in operation, and the main performance criterion is the clock frequency. It can be seen that the Core i7-3770, as having the lowest clock speed, showed minimal performance. All old games behave in a similar way, so if you like World of Tanks or Crysis, then changing the second or third generation processor is pointless. For modern games such as GTA 5, The Witcher 3 or Project CARS, a newer processor will provide better performance. For tasks such as photo and video editing, mathematical calculations, and more, switching from to makes sense. Especially considering that modernization will require the replacement of only and. The remaining components can be used from the old system.

Let's turn to energy consumption. Consider the Core i7-2700K, Core i7-3770K, Core i7-4790K processors installed in a system where the Radeon HD 7970 video card is the second noticeable power consumer. The processor load was provided by a performance test built into the 7z archiver and capable of loading all processor cores in system

The power consumption of the processor depends on its heating. Those. the more the processor consumes, the better it needs to be cooled. Accordingly, the cooling system of a more economical processor, other things being equal, will be quieter. The power consumption table shows that the second generation Core processors have the highest power consumption. With processors of the third and fourth generation, everything is a little more complicated. The tested processors showed a funny result: in idle, the Core i7-4790K turned out to be better, and under load, the Core i7-3770K. However, it should be borne in mind that modern processors rarely work at full load, so it is important that the CPU can effectively reduce power consumption. Based on this, it can be argued that in non-extreme operating modes, the Core i7-4790K will have less power consumption.

Socket, that is, the processor socket, determines the type of processor that can be installed on the motherboard. Most often, changing the processor to a new generation unit also involves changing the motherboard, although, of course, this does not always have to be such an expensive step.

This is an old stand designed for 2nd generation processors. (Sandy Bridge) and third generation processors (Ivy Bridge). She replaced the spent LGA1156 socket, with which she is not compatible. In the ratio of the older one, the new stand has one less pin. The motherboard chipsets have also changed and have been labeled P67 and H67, with only the second version allowing for integrated graphics.

The differences between the two main systems are as follows:

In addition, the H67 and P67 chips are:

• 2.5 GB/s DMI bus throughput increase
• support for PCI Express 2.0.
• SATA 6Gb/s support for two drives

LGA 1150

This latest stand is aimed at future owners of fourth generation Intel Haswell processors. The two main motherboard chipsets are Z87 and H87. As with the previous generation of sockets, LGA1150s are not compatible with older socketami. The difference in design is, first of all, a smaller number of contacts (5 less). Compared to previous chipsets, Z87 introduces several changes, for example:

• support 4 USB 3.0 ports
• SATA 6 Gb/s support

In early 2015, the following chipsets appeared on the market: H97 and Z97, which should provide support for future fifth generation processors (Intel Broadwell), and also support SATA Express and Thunderbolt.

What is better 1155 or 1150?

The answer to this question is not unambiguous. Yes, it really depends on the processor itself. The LGA1150 is not a new or future stand, but for many applications it is enough, especially when you have less money. Before making a decision, you should first choose a processor, and only then look for a suitable motherboard.

Hello dear guys. I love processors, and everything connected with them is interesting to me. It has always been interesting. And today we have such a topic - 1155 and 1150, what are the differences between the socket and what is the compatibility? I will say right away that there is no compatibility and close, since these are different sockets, although they are similar. 1155 is an older socket and supports two generations of processors like Ivy Bridge (3rd generation) and Sandy Bridge (2nd generation). Well, 1150 is already a newer socket, it supports Haswell generations (fourth generation) and Haswell Refresh. I now have exactly 1150 socket and stump (percent).

Oh, I almost forgot, socket 1150 is still a little bit unique - it, namely, motherboards based on the Z97 chipset, has support for Broadwell (fifth generation).

That is, in fact, socket 1150 supports two generations, but the second generation is somehow limited - only on the Z97 chipset. There were rumors that there might be support for the Z87, but in the end there is no support.

Well, now to the most important thing. Let's start with socket 1155. There are two of the best here, the first is the i7 2600K, there is also the i7 2700K, but it's hard to find. This processor belongs to the Sandy Bridge generation, that is, it’s kind of old for 2018, but still peppy, yes, you can really play on it! The second processor is already the Ivy Bridge generation - the i7 3770K model, well, this is already a suitable processor, of course, not like the new ones, but you can definitely play on it. By the way, another important plus of these processors is the price. For example, you can search for i7 2600K here, and if you search well, you can find it even for $100..

Now let's talk about socket 1150. Here everything seems to be even cooler. The coolest CPU is the i7 4790K, whose performance is not far from the i7 7700K (Kaby Lake generation). The price on the used market is also not the lowest, in general. This is the generation of Haswell Refresh, I also remember that in order to support this processor, it was necessary to update the BIOS .. So, okay, the second processor is the coolest i7-5775C - generally a rare beast, if you can find it, it will definitely be expensive. Yes, and it only works on the Z97 chipset, it won’t work on others, it’s already checked.

Note to you - processors with the letter K means that they can be overclocked. Without it - it is impossible, and such prots are even cheaper. The only thing that is not clear to me is whether it is possible to overclock the i7 5775C, I read it on the Internet, it seems like it’s possible ..

That's it guys, now let's take a quick look at the characteristics, okay? Look, we start with the i7 2600K, I'll tell you a little in my own words. As I already wrote - the processor is good, worthy of respect. Has 4 cores, 8 threads. The frequency is 3.4 GHz, in turbo mode it rises to 3.8. The cache is 8 MB, in general, everything is fine with this processor, and you can play on it, and if you overclock it a little, it’s a bomb for ridiculous money. Here are the main features of the i7 2600K as a picture:

Now about the i7 3770K, it will already be a little better, the frequency is 3.5 GHz, in turbo mode 3.9, everything else is the same. The processor generation is newer, so it seems to be a little more productive .. but for the price of an i7 3770K you can buy an i7 2600K and normal cooling, there is something to think about. Here are the specifications of the i7 3770K as a picture, see:

So, now about the i7 4790K - well, this is already a normal processor, and you can call it that in our conversation. It carries new games, it has a normal frequency, but its used price is not quite normal .. well, if you throw it a little, it will be the price of a new i5 8400 on a new socket, I mean the Coffee Lake generation, where there are already 6 cores, and not 4.. Okay, the i7 4790K has a frequency of 4 GHz, in turbo mode 4.40, which is very good! Of course, the cooling is also desirable to be more or less. This percentage can be overclocked, then it can definitely last a couple of years, subject to normal cooling .. Here are the characteristics of the i7 4790K guys in the form of a picture:

Well, now about the most interesting processor - i7-5775C. It is unique in that it is the fifth generation, that is, even in some relevant for today, that is, for 2018. It is also made according to the 14 nm process technology, there is 6 MB of cache. That is, as if new. But the most important thing in this processor is a kind of eDRAM memory, thanks to which it is faster than all previous processors in some operations, despite the lower frequency. Yes, this is a good processor, I would like one for myself, but the price of it used is no, thanks. The frequency of the processor is 3.3 GHz, in turbo mode 3.7, and the most important thing, as I already wrote, is eDRAM memory, the volume of which is 128 MB .. So, here are the characteristics in the form of a picture:

By the way, do you see a question mark opposite eDRAM? I clicked on it and this message popped up:

These are the guys of business, here is such a dynamic RAM right in the processor chip!

That's all, I personally like the i7 2600K because of its price, after all 4 cores .. 8 threads .. and the possibility of overclocking. And I forgot to tell you the main thing - the i7 2600K has solder under the cover, that is, metal, not paste! Therefore, in theory it is better to overclock than others. And I just read that the i7 2600K can be easily overclocked to 4.6-4.8, and at this frequency the processor is already decently good! That's all, that's all, good luck to you and take care of yourself !!

1155 for the house just right!!!

LGA 2011.
First of all, low prevalence. In case of problems, it is difficult to find the motherboard. Such computers are only for enthusiasts. There are many times more conventional motherboards.
More sizes. You need a huge cooler, and a huge case.
Now imagine putting all this thug after you to work, or to dad, mom, etc ... Few people will like a huge and heavy system unit.
Energy consumption. It will eat a lot, always, even in idle time, much more than the usual i5 and i3.
Price. The decision at LGA 2011 will be expensive.
Performance. Windows and the browser will not be appreciated, they will work just like on a modern Core i3.
Games will be appreciated, but only the most modern, 12 channels then. And often I want to play old games.
It's a great idea to play CS 1.6 on a 6 core i7 with a TDP of 140W. Super!!!
Even modern life does not allow you to play a lot, there is simply no time.
The 6-core will just stand, or at best distribute torrents. For this, it is also directly necessary :))) It's a joke, you don't need a powerful percentage for torrents, you need more RAM.
Such a 6-core processor can be bought for permanent archiving, video encoding, and other things. But here, too, he may not justify himself.
All in all, LGA 2011 is a bold decision. But an experienced investor is unlikely to invest his money in this, since the benefits are highly debatable.
But LGA 2011 will be bought by an enthusiast, primarily for self-satisfaction.
The choice is yours.

1155 is simply irrelevant. Assembly based on socket 1150 will be cheaper than in 2011. However, there are advantages to 2011 as well. In particular, quad-channel memory, 40 PCI-E lanes... In addition, 6-core processors have been developed for this socket, and soon there will probably be eight-core ones. In short, if you have money and a desire to assemble a more productive computer, then choose 2011. If there is no desire to stick to top solutions in the budget, then the 1150th.

One of the most popular processor sockets from Intel at the moment is socket 1150. Although this platform is now gradually being replaced by the updated socket 1151, its semiconductor chips will definitely be relevant over the next 2-3 years, and it is its capabilities that will be considered in this article.

and its positioning

In 2013, the question was relevant when choosing a new PC: “Socket 1150 or 1155?”. There was virtually no difference in performance between these processor sockets. In terms of price, 1155 was preferable, but energy saving is an order of magnitude better for 1150. Now the latter is being replaced by a more progressive family of processors - the sixth, which is already installed in socket 1151. Otherwise, it should be noted that socket 1150 allows you to create the most affordable computer systems. But the segment of the most productive PCs and servers is mostly occupied by socket 2011.

Segmentation of processor solutions

Socket 1150 in terms of processor solutions was divided as follows:

Solutions for computer enthusiasts are AI5 and AI7 processors with the K index. They have an unlocked multiplier, and with proper selection of the PC configuration, this nuance allows you to get a significant performance boost.

The most productive AI7 chips were perfect for building the most computationally demanding computers - servers, graphics and workstations, and gaming PCs. Ai5 is also aimed at the same niche, but their performance level is lower than that of Ai7, but at the same time the price is more modest.

The middle segment of this platform was occupied by solutions based on Ai3. This family of CPUs is great for most tasks. But in some cases (for example, in the most demanding 3D toys) you will have to sacrifice some parameters and this will not affect the gameplay process in the best way.

To build entry-level computers, it is most optimal to use the most affordable CPUs - Pentiums and Celerons. Their computing capabilities are quite enough to solve a wide range of office tasks.

Generation of semiconductor crystals "Haswell"

The first generation of chips codenamed "Haswell" was introduced for this computer platform, and at that time there was a dilemma: "Which is better to choose: socket 1150 or 1155?" The performance difference between the two was not significant. But the energy saving of the 1150 was better. All these chips were manufactured using the 22 nm process technology. The upper segment was occupied by Cor I7 4770K (overclockable) and Cor I7 4770 (in this case, the CPU multiplier was blocked). These chips could work in 8 computing threads and they had only 4 computing cores. The cache of the third level was equal to 8 MB, and their reference was 3.5 GHz. Slightly lower in terms of performance were the Cor Ai5 processors of the 4670K, 4670 and 4570 models. In the first case, the CPU multiplier was unlocked and this made it possible to obtain a significant increase in performance. The first two models had a CPU frequency of 3.4 GHz, while the latter had 3.2 GHz. The number of computing threads is limited to 4, and the third-level cache is 6 MB. Even lower in terms of performance are Cor Ay3. Their frequencies were reduced, the third-level cache was reduced, and the number of physical cores was 2 with 4 computational threads. The niche of the most modest processors was occupied by Pentiums and Celerons. Minimum frequencies, minimum level 3 cache and only 2 cores.

Another family of chips for this processor socket

The first generation of chips for socket 1150 turned out to be not entirely successful. Processors often overheated and failed during overclocking. As a result, Intel had to release an additional family of processors with improved thermal paste under the heat sink cover, which was code-named "Haswell Refresh". In fact, these are the same chips, but with a different marking. For example, Kor Ai7 4770K was renamed into Kor Ai7 4790K. In addition to improved thermal paste, these processor solutions boasted an increased frequency (in the 4790 it was 100 MHz higher).

Broadwell chip generation

Socket 1150 boasts support for 5th Gen Core processors, codenamed Broadwell. For desktop computers, only 2 chip models were released - "Cor Ai7 5775" and "Cor Ai5 5675". Their specifications were more modest than those of their predecessors: the frequencies were lower by 200 MHz. But the key innovation of these CPUs is an improved manufacturing process - 14 nm.

Chipsets

8th and 9th series of system logics for this platform. The initial niche was occupied by the H81, which could boast a minimal level of functionality. The middle segment was occupied by B85, Q85, Q87 and H87. Well, the most progressive solutions were built on the basis of the Z87. But only "Haswell" and "Haswell Refresh" chips (in this case it is recommended to update "BIOS") in these chipsets. Socket 1150 allows you to install Broadwell solutions, but they can only work in the 9th series of system logic. There are only 2 of them - H97 and Z97. These chipsets are designed for use in high performance PCs.

Further prospects for this computer platform

Every 2-3 years, Intel Corporation updates its computer platforms, and at the same time, motherboards are released with a new processor socket. Socket 1150 was officially introduced in 2013 at the same time as the first Core 4th generation CPUs. Now, after 3 years, this platform is gradually being replaced by a newer processor socket (socket 1151), which installs the 6th generation of processors based on the Core architecture. As a result, it can be noted that the processor socket 1150 is living its last days. It's not that outdated. It is simply replaced by an updated computer platform. But its most productive CPUs will definitely be relevant for the next 2-3 years.

Intel processor sockets, as noted earlier, are currently changing from 1150 to 1151. And the 1150 platform is now at the end of its life cycle. But this does not mean that its processor solutions are not relevant. Right now they are of the greatest interest in the lineup of chips from Intel. Their prices have been reduced in light of the update for the 6th generation of Core processors, and the performance level between 4th, 5th and 6th generations is not so much different. Therefore, if you urgently need an inexpensive, but productive computer, then you can safely purchase a computer with the necessary equipment based on the Haswell or Haswell Refresh CPU. Well, Broadwell solutions are aimed at the niche of the most productive PCs, and in this case it is better to report a relatively small amount and purchase a system based on socket 1151.
