Lynnfield (microprocessor)

Lynnfield is related to the earlier Bloomfield and Gainestown microprocessors, which are used in server and high-end desktop systems. The main difference between the two is Lynnfield's use of the LGA 1156 processor socket as opposed to the LGA 1366 socket used by Bloomfield and Gainestown processors. LGA 1156 processors include Direct Media Interface and PCI Express links, which Intel has previously connected to the processor with a dedicated northbridge chip, called the memory controller hub or I/O hub.

The Lynnfield series of processors does not include built-in Intel graphics.

The mobile version of Lynnfield is Clarksfield. The dual-core version was going to be Havendale, but it was cancelled in favor of Clarkdale.
