NoPants writes "It looks like the aces at Anandtech were able to get their hands on some of AMD's internal roadmaps. Anand has some interesting information including the new upcoming Socket 939 CPU standard as well as AMD's predicted release dates for Athlon 64 4000+ processors. Hopefully this will shed some light on what AMD is trying to do with all the different socket types..."

Maybe all of this preliminary information will help Intel markitecture their way to the Pentium 6!

Wow if these new chips radiate at a proportionate level to AMDs current offering we could all be wearing shorts in Antartica by new year 05.

Seriously tho. I think AMD ought to work some better thermal performance into its cpu range. A low cost, low temperature, high performance CPU is what is required in the market.

By the way, just try a 3 Ghz processor for a while (maybe a week or two). Then go back your 700 Mhz system. You'll see the light.
I saw the light, it was the glowing heatsink.
