The processors of the 1155th socket, in spite of the fact that theywere released long ago by the standards of the computer industry (in 2011-2013), continue to be relevant solutions with a good level of performance. At the same time, in the light of the release of more updated platforms, the cost of them significantly decreased. This makes it still more justified to assemble a new PC based on this platform.
It should also be noted that this socketsupports products based on the architecture of the second Core (also called "Sandy Bridge", and they were already produced using 32nm technology) and even the third (the second name of this family is the "Ivi Bridge" technology, 22nm) generations. Most chips were equipped with an integrated graphics accelerator. And the more productive the processor, the better the graphics card.
Processors of the 1155th socket are divided as follows in the market segments:
Office PCs with minimal performance are Celeron.
More advanced entry-level computers are Pentium.
The middle segment of the system blocks is Core i3.
Intermediate chips between the middle and premium-class are Core i5.
The CPU providing the maximum speed is Core i7.
The most affordable semiconductor crystalfor Socket 1155 are the CPU of the Celeron line. Depending on the model, this silicon solution can include 1 or even 2 computational units. The frequency in this case is fixed, and in comparison with other products of this platform it is minimal. Also, these models of the CPU have a reduced fast memory subsystem. On the one hand, all this allows to lower chip cost, and this is the most important criterion for this part of the market. On the other hand, all previously listed significantly reduces the level of PC performance. But at the same time, it remains at an acceptable level for the solution of office tasks.
A step higher in the list of proposals of the corporation"Intel" for this computing platform are located CPU Pentium, which necessarily included already 2 computational units. Also, in comparison with Celeron, the clock frequency (by 100-200 MHz) and the cache level were increased. Therefore, it is possible to meet such Intel processors even in entry-level gaming PCs. The 1155th socket, starting with these CPU models, had an acceptable level of performance.
Processors 1155-th socket for an averagethe speed of the system unit is Core i3. For most technical parameters, they were identical to the younger models in the Pentium. This is the cache memory, and the number of physical cores, and almost equal clock speeds. Their key feature was the availability of technology such as Hyper Trading. With its help, two physical modules at the software level turned into 4 software processing flows. As a result, an increase in performance, which could be 15 percent, was achieved in application programs optimized for 3-4 data processing flows.
Core i5 was even higher in levelPerformance in the list of CPUs of this platform. This is a full-fledged quad-core processor. LGA 1155 with its help allowed to create simultaneously accessible and productive computers. Also, this chip has been enlarged even more cache, clock speeds are increased, there is support for Intel's proprietary technology, which is called "Turbo Bust". Accordingly, the CPU can change its frequencies depending on the level of complexity of the task. Separately, it is also necessary to note chips series, in the marking of which there is an index "K" (it is added at the end of the designation of the processor model). In this case, the clock multiplier of the central processing unit is unlocked. As a result, with proper equipment of the computer system in this case, you can get a significant increase in performance. For this, it will be enough just to overclock the chip.
The most productive CPU for Socket 1155 -this is Core i7. In terms of technical specifications, it was not that much different from the younger model. All the same 4 physical cores for computation and a three-level cache. But here all the same technology Hyper Trading, as well as in the case of Core i3, allowed to get already 8 data streams and an additional performance gain. The second important factor is an increase in the cache of the third level from 6 MB to 8 MB, which also added speed to the computer system. As in the case of the Core i5, there were models with the "K" index, which can also be overclocked by increasing the clock frequency.
You can still buy from stockprocessors of the 1155th socket. The cost is lowered with the release of more updated computing platforms, LGA 1151 and, of course, LGA 1150. The difference in performance between LGA 1155 and more recent products is not so significant. Therefore, from the position of the ratio "speed-cost", LGA 1155 looks more preferable. It is precisely this that should be paid attention to when assembling a new system unit with a limited budget and the desire to get the best possible performance.
