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..."

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.
