Introducing the Motherboard
Feature
• Accommodates Intel
®
Lynnfield/Clarkdale processors
• Supports “Hyper-Threading” technology CPU
“Hyper-Threading” technology enables the operating system into thinking
it’s hooked up to two processors, allowing two threads to be run in parallel, both
on separate “logical” processors within the same physical processor.
The motherboard uses an LGA1156 type of socket that carries the following
features:
