AMD M2 - details

[FarFarAway]

AMD are planning on releasing a new socket in Q2 of 2006.

The planned socket will run on a DDR II platform, with a whopping DDR667. Multi's up to 10x here's the chart for you perusal:

3.33ghz stock

ziiip.... :jerkit:....aaaahhh

X2 5000 ???? 2.6stock 667 :jerkit: :jerkit: :jerkit: :jerkit:

AHHHH!!!! GOD DAMMIT!!!!! DIE AMD DIE!! :amdwar: :amdwar: :amdwar:

kemp, you officially killed me

 

[bloodthirst]

does anyone know how many pins it will have?

 

[FarFarAway]

I think its 1205 mate

 

[bloodthirst]

fair enough, so its actually going to be a physically bigger cpu sitting on the motherboard

 

[Eguy]

yeha, I want to see what it looks like... and image the mobos that are going to be commin out! DFI is gonna PWN!

it might not be, cpu's have gotten smaller so far with the pin increase

I actually HOPE the processor is bigger... Because more pimps on a smaller cpu = way easier to fuck up on accident.

Also, it's too bad that the M2 cpu's won't be 65nm

What what what??? What about the future of the Athlon XP line???

:cussing: :cussing: :cussing: WWWAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

But seriously....whenever I upgrade again (in a year or two).....they'll be some serious technology to play with....

I didnt realise processors had whore rental as an inbuilt feature

LOL K7 cpu's where discountinued from the production line a few months ago

 

[ionicle_old]

the old bartons were good CPU's it wil be a shame to see them go ...but this new socket...PHWOR...so much power...all they need do is make the pins the size as on socket 462...then i can bend em back, if i acidently bend em...

 

[deepfried]

lol how are you going to buy one ey? well we can al dream

 

[ionicle_old]

yep, i can and do...this comp i have atm was a dream...so dreams can come true!

 

[Zyxthior]

Yup, the Bartons were a good chip....no, I knew the 3200 was the end of the line a while back....64 is the way to go at the moment....

Oh well....something to dream about in the future.

 

[ionicle_old]

i think, after the sucess of socket A that they cant really abandon it...cant they bring out a 32 bit 4000+ for socket A as a final atempt to revive it?

There are so many things i could say about this post but i won't.

There are so many things i could say about this post but i won't.

Actually:

* Because current socket A motherboards wouldnt support a 4000+ chip, so motherboard manufacturers would need to make new bios's or release new boards (which they wouldnt be arsed to do for a dead technology).

* Because the yeild rates of making Socket A XP processors would probably be crap.

* Because AMD want people to use their latest processors.

* Because the production line for XP chips has stopped. And to reopen it would be just stupid and costly.

Want me to carry on....
