Leaked Pictures of Socket F
Robbedoeske writes "Dutch language site Tweakers.net has the first pictures of AMD's Socket F, aka Socket 1207. This socket introduces support for DDR 2 memory and some say it will offer the ability for a integrated PCI Express controller on the cpu. Socket F is meant to be used in systems with more than one Opteron cpu."
For those that can't read Dutch the Socket F looks like any normal chip.
I'm dutch so I could read the forumpost that started it all.
He actually said he counted all the pins, just to be sure to give enough information.
Funny stuff (being dutch rocks)
This is the sig that says NI (again)
Eerste post???
The more I learn about Apple and Intel the more worried I get.
IBM is cranking out killer PPC chips.
AMD is cranking out killer x86 chips.
And Intel looks like they are ready to compete in some sort of Special Olympics for Computer Chips.
How the hell can AMD be making such better chips and companies like Dell still selling Intel powered crap?
Ahh nerd porn. While the rest of the world is looking at leaked photos of Janet Jackson or Paris Hilton, we're looking at photos of AMDs new processor.
The next step would be a processor the size of a motherboard with all connections (USB / PCI) on it's back :)
On our forum Gathering or Tweakers the first photograph of AMD's Socket f has emerged. In May we wrote all that AMD new processorsocket on its roadmap had put. The new voetstuk 1207 connection points would count and is intended for multi-Opteron-servers. To occur that a processor with support for Ddr-geheugen are pricked on Ddr2-voetje and vice-versa, therefore new socket were necessary. The extra pins which become available, could would according to reports be used for incorporated PCI Express-controller on the processors. Striking on the photograph the clear separation in the middle of the socket is. This seems indicate that each core of dual-core the Opteron his own group has contact points and this way real such as two processors it is treated.

On the photograph is further also see that Socket f have equipped, just like Intels Socket 775, with pins which must make contact with the processor. The cpu will have will be therefore no longer pricked in the socket, but it concerns so-called Lga-socket. Socket f become moreover also Socket 1207 mentioned, but just like Socket 479 but 478 count pins, this model will have contact points also only 1206, this way precise telwerk expelled. This processor foot supports registered DDR II 533 -, 667 and 800-geheugen and this way venture AMD the gok to take on the competition with Intels FB Dimm-plannen. This last in April, as it happens, its dual-core will present platform Dempsey, with among other things Greencreek-chipset with support for FB Dimm-geheugen.

Oh and....MULTIPASS!
Integrated cpu/northbridge/southbridge on a 12,156 pin socket, some say it will support 4 channels of ddr4 and be able to heat a large home :)
...
My god, it's full of holes.
Invoicing, Time Tracking, Reporting
The next step would be that my co-workers would actually be correct when they refer to the box that houses the motherboard, video card, memeory, etc. as a "CPU."
You just made me realize that reading the article description got me as excited as looking at nekked pics of Paris Hilton. The big difference is that AMD CPUs are much more interesting than her and are more talented. They are both about as flat and prickley though.
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
They've added the memory controller and now they are adding the pci-e controller. If they keep adding things to the chip soon it will be so big that they'll just put the expansion slots directly onto the cpu. It WILL be the motherboard.

Every single time I see DDR and compatibility, I think, wait, why do you need anything else with DDR?

Biblical fiscal responsibility
The next logical step is to integrate the user into the chip. Chips will become huge, and the housing market will merge with the computer industry.
...it looks just so sexy... It so big, and there are so many holes...
My GOD... YES... YES...
Sorry... It just came over me...

Real CPU's have the cooler mountet with two 10mm nuts...
Um, I can go out and buy a 754-pin mobo+cpu TODAY in essentially ANY computer store.
... they make this thing called "heat". Until you can substantially lower the power required you can't stack them, hell placing them adjacent to each other is enough of a challenge. And frankly, 32 processors is not something the bulk of their customers wants which is why they don't do it.
How is it "obsolete"? Obsolete implies replaced. I'd say they have what you'd call "two product lines".
Sure they're not rolling out new designs with it, but I'd say a 2.2Ghz 3400+ is way more than enough for a desktop box. It's hardly "outdated" given the fact the top of the line 4800+ is only 200Mhz faster [but with another core].
As for your idiotic idea of stacking cpus
I say screw your bullshit SMP, I want an LCD on the top of the die so I can see the contents of the registers at all times!!!

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
...600W power supply? :P
God, I hope that was drool.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
