AM2+
is AM2, just with a faster HTT speed.
AM3 will be one pin less, but AM3 CPU's will work in AM2+ and AM2.
I wonder what Nvidia has planned as far as chipsets go.

Lol amd use the same method for there manufacturing processes as there processor aims same with intel. with intel and the pentium 4 it was all about large clock cycles whilst amd was all about small clock speeds but better efficiency  |
Actually, AMD are trying to improve efficiency further with their K10
