All New
As Intel launch Sandy Bridge, the second generation of Intel processors Intel also releasing their new chipsets.
Sandy Bridge can be used only on the new chipset, which is Intel P67, H67, H61, Q67, and B65 (for desktop platforms). To accommodate this new processor, Intel also release a new socket LGA1155 (not LGA1156 which has come first). This Socket can't be used on LGA1156 processors. However, we can use the HSF socket LGA1156 on this LGA1155. And the Sandy Bridge architecture itself is also different because Intel changed this to get better performance and less power consumption.
