On a Chinese techsite, is a photo with details about Intel’s 9-series chipset appeared. The chipset is for ‘Broadwell’cpus intended, and follows the 8-series chipset for Haswell processors, which in June should appear. Broadwell and the corresponding chipset for 2014 planned.
The photo of a page from a longer document by VR-Zone published, and shows that Intel is in any case two chipsets don’t want to release. Not unexpectedly, are that the Z97 chipset for demanding users, and the H97 chipset which is intended for the mainstrream-public. The chipsets have support for a new sata standard, sata express is called.
Sata express uses the pci-express interface to data. This would be the maximum speed at 8Gbps and 16Gbps, it would also be sata-express is backwards compatible with earlier standards. SATA-IO, the organization that the sata standard defines, wants this year is still the final sata-express specification.
The 9-series chipset is intended for Intel’s Broadwell cpus, which is a die shrink of the Haswell cpu’s should be. The generation after Haswell is a ‘tick’ in Intel’s tick-tock schedule. The 14nm baked Broadwell-cpu like the Haswell use the LGA 1150 socket. Broadwell would in the course of 2014, Intel should be introduced.
