Intel Chipset Codenames Cross-Reference Table @ Hardware Secrets
|
|
Even for those of us that work daily in the high-tech industry it is hard to keep track of all the codenames Intel uses for their chipsets and then trying to remember what commercial name Intel gave each one. For the average user it is really complicated trying to understand exactly what product an article or review posted on an enthusiast-oriented media is talking about, especially when they are using the codename instead of the final product name. In order to help everybody out there (including ourselves), we decided to compile a series of quick cross-reference tables containing all the codenames Intel uses for their chipsets and the actual product name. Enjoy."

Intel prepares 8-series chipsets for Q2 2013
|
|
Not content with just FIVE processor sockets (LGA775/1156/1155/1366/2011), Intel is preparing to launch the 'Haswell' processor in socket LGA1150 for the upcoming Intel Z87, H87, B85, H81 chipsets. VR-Zone reports the first Intel Z87 and Intel H87 motherboards will be on display at CeBIT 2013 in Germany. Intel 'Haswell' CPUs are expected to launch at Computex 2013 in June.
Motherboard makers may be ready for the new generation of Intel processors and chipsets, but are consumers?
All Intel 8-series chipsets will support the new Intel socket LGA 1150 which will not be compatible with any existing CPU currently available, leading to one hell of a confusing market place in our opinion.
Worst of all for the PC industry - and perhaps the death null for hardware review sites - is that after the Intel Z87 chipset VR-Zone reports that "future processors will be soldered on board and most likely you won’t have much of a chance but to get a board with CPU together as a ‘bundle’" Image sources and further reading: here, here, here.

Cooler Master CM Storm Scout 2 Gaming Case
|
|
If you have not figured it out by now, just about every case manufacturer has a gaming brand. Cooler Master was one of the first to develop such a brand when they opened up CM Storm. And since then we have seen some pretty great cases. Today, we have the newest addition to the brand which would be the Storm 2. The only thing the new version and the original have in common is a LAN handle and size. We will be taking a look at what makes this one the new must have case.
