Intel Core i7 LogosIntel’s future P55 chipset will support H1 socket. As is known this new socket will house Lynnfield and Havendale processors.

Based on Intel’s former announcements on the subject, the 4 cored Lynnfield will be available through the end of 2009 as well as Havendale will be available in the start of 2010.

This architecture, that will be 1160 pins, is pointed out to be able to be easily sufficient for this processor family that has 2 instead of 3 channel DDR3 memory controller like Core i7s.

After all the main mission of the 4-cored Lynnfield is to be at a fairly low price to make it more purchasable. Likewise the main mission of P55 that will replace the P45, is to help make Nehalem the dominant in product segmentation  near the end of 2009.
