LGA 2011, also called Socket R, is a CPU socket by Intel. It replaces Intel's LGA 1366 (Socket B) and LGA 1567 in the performance and high-end desktop and server platforms.[1] The socket has 2,011 protruding pins which touch contact points on the underside of the processor.
Socket R uses QPI to connect the CPU to additional CPUs. DMI 2.0 is used to connect the processor to the PCH. The memory controller and 40 PCIe lanes are integrated on the CPU. On a secondary processor an extra x4 PCIe interface replaces the DMI interface. As with its predecessor LGA 1366 there is no provision for integrated graphics.
The socket was released on 14 November 2011, and supports Sandy Bridge-E processors with 4 memory channels of DDR3-1600,[2] as well as 40× PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 lanes.[3] The Extreme Edition processor supports six cores with 15 MB of shared L3 cache on a ring bus and a quad-channel DDR3 memory controller. LGA 2011 motherboards have either 4 or 8 DIMM slots which allows for a maximum support of 32 GB, 64 GB, or 128 GB[4] of memory.[5] LGA 2011 also has to ensure platform scalability beyond eight cores and 20 MB of cache.[6]
LGA 2011 will also be compatible with future Ivy Bridge-E processors.[7]

Compatible processors [edit]
Desktop [edit]
Information for the desktop LGA 2011 socket processors can be found in the table below.
- All models support: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), TXT, Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Turbo Boost, AES-NI, Smart Cache, Hyper-threading, except the C1 stepping models, which lack VT-d.[10]
- Sandy Bridge-E processors are not bundled with standard air cooled CPU-coolers. Intel is offering a standard CPU-cooler, and a liquid-cooling CPU-cooler, which are both sold separately.[11]

1 The X79 chipset allows for increasing the base clock(bclk), Intel calls it CPU Strap, by 1.00x, 1.25x, 1.66x or 2.50x. The CPU frequency is derived by the bclk times the CPU multiplier.
Server [edit]
Information for the server LGA 2011 socket processors can be found in the table below.
- All models support: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), TXT, Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, AES-NI, Smart Cache. Not all support Hyper-threading and Turbo Boost.
- Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) in 2 variants Square and Narrow[16]
