Leaked Pictures of Socket F

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-the-holland-i-grew-up-in dept.

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)

  4. AMD Beating The Crap Out Of Intel? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    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.

      No, no... This isn't even pictures of a new AMD processor... it's pictures of the SOCKET where the processor will go.

      It's more like pr0n pictures of a bra or a bikini, without anyone wearing them... :-(

    Op ons forum Gathering of Tweakers zijn de eerste foto's van AMD's Socket F opgedoken. In mei schreven we al dat AMD een nieuwe processorsocket op zijn roadmap gezet had. Het nieuwe voetstuk zou 1207 verbindingspunten tellen en bedoeld zijn voor multi-Opteron-servers.

    Oh and....MULTIPASS!

    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.

    I don't know what came first, Double Data Rate or Dance Dance Revolution, but I curse the second group that used the DDR acronym.

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