LGA1156 Plaform and DDR3 Memory - Is DDR3 memory really needed?
So we can draw a conclusion that the memory controller in LGA1366 processors is very complex: it supports twice as much memory as its new desktop competitor. What concerns LGA1156, it has fewer channels and simpler structure. And by the way, it may even work faster. This happens quite often. E.g., engines of heavy-duty dump trucks often have the same horsepower as sport car engines. But the former convert all the power to high carrying capacity, so they cannot compete even with a budget compact in terms speed. The same concerns processors for different platforms. So let's run our tests to see what's going on exactly.
