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 built-in thermal guides to safely remove heat, no risk of misaligned radiator.
...for integrated liquid cooling option
...for more redundant pins so a single socket design could last 5-10 years, not replaced 5 months later with one that has two pins more
...for some good options to stack n CPUs for multi-CPU platform (socket for next CPU built into top of the previous one, thermal guides / coolant pipes running through)

It makes me sad that a PC Club would build anything but AMD boxen.
