Lynnfield the Mainstream Nehalem CPU Pictures Emerge
Pictures of the mainstream Nehalem chips otherwise known as Lynnfield have emerged in the asian forum XFastest. Unlike the Bloomfield that has 1366 pins, Lynnfield has only 1160 pins and lacks the QPI link that the Bloomfield uses for triple channel DDR3. Instead Lynnfield uses DMI which only supports dual channel DDR3. Check out the link below for even more comparison images.

But I'm wondering why do they have same size even though they have different sockets? Maybe Lynnfield will work on mobo with socket 1366? If this is possible, this CPU probably a big hit for mainstream users.
