wow, seems like amd is really starting to try to come out in front! i guess the winning processors will be on the AM3 socket, and probably be cheap and cool, which most pc addicts love.

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

Why work harder when you can work smarter?

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. Quote: |

Actually, AMD are trying to improve efficiency further with their K10 | sorry I haven't heard of am3 socket I thought the k10 series were just f/am2+ surely the am3 chip won't be out for ages as they haven't even got am2+ boards on the market yet.....
with the amd thats what I said........ AMD make efficient processors which although in terms of ghz are less powerful the efficiency is higher so they have a practical result of being rulers of the single core market

but ddr3 is supported with some of the am2+boards.......

AMD won't make a DDR3 controller for an AM2 or AM2+ CPU. Only AM3.

I am sure I saw some spec's for a am2+ with ddr3 board but your explanation does make sense.....
