Socket F pictured

[FarFarAway]

And its going to be just like LGA775

Its ok but I don't think this is the way to go. Majorly expensive motherboard here we come

Rough translation from Tweakers.net article

On our forum Gathering or Tweakers the first photograph of AMD's Socket f has emerged. In May we wrote all that AMD new processorsocket on its roadmap had put. The new voetstuk 1207 connection points would count and is intended for multi-Opteron-servers. To occur that a processor with support for Ddr-geheugen are pricked on Ddr2-voetje and vice-versa, therefore new socket were necessary. The extra pins which become available, could would according to reports be used for ge?egreerde PCI Express-controller on the processors. Striking on the photograph the clear separation in the middle of the socket is. This seems indicate that each core of dual-core the Opteron his own group has contact points and this way real such as two processors it is treated.

NO AMD, NO!!

Whatever, as long as the performance is on par, I could give a shit less about the design they decide to go with

i dont mind it, looks alright

Why AMD, Why!

I thought AMD were better than this. It just shifts bent pin processor returns over to the motherboard manufacturers.

I even managed to bend the pins on my LGA775 board - they are sooo frikkin fragile you would not believe.

I have to say the same as XMS, AMD have been on the right track for a while now, I remember back in the day of my first 1GB Athlon Processor, and they were still being pwned by Intel......

I personnally don't think that this is a great move, but hey, they make the millions not me
