INTEL LGA1156 1ST GENERATION DESKTOP PROCESSOR

Intel 1st Generation Core Desktop Processor Intel 1st-generation Core desktop processors are based on the Nehalem and Westmere microarchitectures, introduced between 2008 and 2010. Available in Bloomfield, Lynnfield, and Clarkdale families, these processors brought features such as integrated memory controllers, Intel Turbo Boost on supported models, and Hyper-Threading on selected processors. Depending on the family, they use LGA 1366 or LGA 1156 sockets and support DDR3 memory for compatible desktop systems.
