So we have to dance to get the damn thing to work?

The Intel marketing people in colourful bunny suits has been doing their song & dances for years. It is time for AMD to catch up.

Socket 1207

Will pincounts be the new megahurtz?

Yep - it's about time for a new CPU logo: Hedgehog inside :) .

Not yet.

1207 pins, pffft!

I'll hold out for the 1337 pin AMDs.

I for one welcome our elite cpu overlords.

I really am a geek now.

I read that as AMD would be adopting Dance Dance Revolution 2. XD

If you think ddr2 the game is more geeky than ddr2 the memory, we must have a really different definition of geekness.

Re:1207 and Virtualization

[orz]

The article does mention a 1207-pin "Socket F" in a footnote at the end. But yeah, the submitter got that detail wrong.

1207 = 17*71. I wonder why this beautiful factorization isn't mentioned in the article.

By your reasoning, the AMD geode LX800 takes the crown:

481 pins = 13*37

OMG, 1t are t3h l33t CPU!!1!!11one11

Re:Socket A

[Shanep]

I forgot to mention that at least slut A always comes with at least 3 ports. The others come with a maximum of 2, but usually only come with 1 unreliable port which is hard to get working. These common units tend to be expensive to run and also come with an output only port which is very noisy.

I have a rusty abacus at home that I use for my banking. My wife wanted one too after she saw me flying through my interest calculations but I told her "we don't waste money on newfangled technology" and bought her a pile of shiny beads to do her counting with instead.
