TE Connectivity, the maker of varied sorts of connectivity options for laptop programs, has launched its newest iteration of the LGA socket for the following technology of Xeon Scalable CPUs. Being validated by Intel, the LGA 4189-Four and LGA 4189-5 are going to energy the following technology of 10 nm Xeon CPUs, based mostly on the Ice Lake structure, and as much as 56-core 2nd technology Xeon Scalable CPUs. While there are two fashions of the socket, TE Connectivity did not reveal what the variations are between them. Socket P4 (LGA 4189-4) and P5 (LGA 4189-5) additionally function precisely the identical pin rely, 0.9906 mm hex pitch and a pair of.7 mm SP top, so we will solely speculate that the “4” or “5” within the revision is meant to point particulars like greater energy supply functionality or help for Ice Lake CPUs.
In addition to offering a brand new socket for Ice Lake, these sockets have help for PCI-Express Gen 4.Zero and eight-channel reminiscence (supported reminiscence configurations are vendor dependent), that means that we’re getting two extra reminiscence channels than earlier Xeon CPUs with a quicker and newer PCIe normal.
