明らかになったAMDのDDR2対応CPUと新ソケット移行計画

Windsor sarà l'eletto

[asphalt]

ところが、AMDはDDR2対応を機に、Athlon 64とSempronを新ソケット形状のSocket M2へと移行させる。AMDの計画では2006年第2四半期に投入予定のWindsorとOrleansから順次、Socket 939からM2への移行を開始し、2006年末にはすべてのセグメントで新ソケットへの移行を果たしたい考えだ。その背景には、深刻な熱・電力問題が存在する。

Sarà su socket M2..........cambiamo piattaforma un'altra volta......

The-inquirer......

A REPORT on Digitimes claims that AMD will migrate all of its desktop chips to the M2 socket during 2006.
But that's not all. Socket F, according to the wire, will have 1207 pins while the M2 will be a 940 pinza, it claimed.

When we asked a senior Intel staffer what the D in the new branding Pentium D meant, he said it stood for "different". We won't tempt fate by asking AMD what the F stands for. Many many words start with the letter F. Including funny.

All this socket stuff is potentially very confusing but Digitimes also claims that all Opterons including dual core chips, will be 1207 pins, except for the 100 series.

We'd better all start counting then, hadn't we. The next generation Opterons with 1207 pins are, as we reported last November, the "bastard offspring" of the K8 architecture, and not K9 as it was going to be.

Before we know where we are, Intel will start rattling on about new sockets as well. It will probably be later rather than sooner, but it will come, mark our words. µ

cambiando le ram è d'obbligo cambiare scheda madre quindi non è poi così sbagliato

[asphalt]

Il punto non è che se si cambia socket è giusto cambiare ram...ma se è opportuno passare a DDr2 quando inizialmente aspettano le DDr3 che sanno essere più performanti......poi da indiscrezioni sembra che i due socket potranno essere accantonati utilizzando ancora il "bastard socket 939" con le DDr2.......il vantaggio dove è ......a parte ottenere il cambio di tutte le piattaforme e di Ram esistenti adesso con nuovi introiti per i produttori.....

Questa è una mossa che da parte di Amd non me l'aspettavo......la considero solo una mossa commerciale..vuoi vedere che Amd stà imparando da Intel? :
Male molto male.....

[asphalt]

Altro che mossa commerciale

[dj883u2]

Mossa commerciale nel senso di incassare soldi per il cambio di processore e scheda madre,quando la stessa Amd aveva detto e sostenuto che le DDR2 non erano considerate per le loro caratteristiche "interessanti..." : e dichiarando di voler aspettare le DDR3........e ora che fa?mi esce con una scheda madre per DDR2....la chiamo mossa commerciale.Non vorrei che Amd mi stesse scadendo di credibilità, per vendersi al massimo profitto a dicapito dell'utente finale.... :Non si progredisce copiando politiche aziendali di altre società basete sul solo scopo di lucreo.
Sarebbe meglio non illudere il compratore con affermazioni,per poi cambiare idea all'ultimo minuto.Ne perde la credibilità.

[asphalt]

Purtroppo in questo periodo di stanca per i produttori hardware...dove le novità tecnologiche si contano sulla punta delle dita...l'unico modo per far quadrare i conti è quella di far cambiare i prodotti all'utente finale.......
Comunque sono solo parole al vento tanto fanno come vogliono e noi dietro come pecore....purtroppo.

AMD to migrate all desktop CPUs to Socket M2, server CPUs to Socket F in 2006

Charles Chou, Taipei; Jessie Shen, DigiTimes.com [Monday 9 May 2005]


After Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) introduces its Socket M2 platform next year, all of its desktop processors, including single- and dual-core platforms, will adopt the 90nm M2 socket design, according to Taiwan PC and server makers that reviewed the latest AMD roadmap.

Despite motherboard makers originally expecting the M2 platform to use a 1,207-pin architecture, the M2 socket will be a 940-pin platform, the makers indicated. It will be AMD’s Socket F architecture that will feature a 1,207-pin design, the makers added. Socket F will be introduced next year as well, and will be used for AMD’s Opteron lineup, except for the 100 series, which will migrate to the M2 platform, the makers explained.

Socket M2 and Socket F processors will both support dual-channel DDR2 memory, customers of AMD in Taiwan indicated. The move toward M2 and Socket F is expected to accelerate the industry’s migration from DDR to DDR2, the makers commented.

The company also has made no secret out of its intention to phase out Socket A for the entry-level Sempron processor and transition to Socket 754 and 939 - the latter being used for some time now for mainstream and high-end Athlon 64 chips. According to a roadmap seen by Tom's Hardware Guide, Socket 754 is already ramped down in favor of the 939. The 939 itself will start to be ramped down in the second quarter of 2006, when AMD will introduce a new Socket M2 that will trickle down quickly from the very high end to the mainstream and low-end segment by the third quarter of 2006.

The roadmap indicates that AMD will not increase clock speeds of its processors between now and the second quarter of 2006, if we leave the Athlon64 FX-57 - which is scheduled for third quarter of this year - out of the picture. With the arrival of M2 in the second quarter of next year, AMD however will introduce several speed upgrades, such as a 3800+ model for the Sempron, likely a 5000+ version of the Athlon64 X2 as well as a FX-59 processor that will target gamers - and represent the fastest processor of AMD's product lineup. All new processors will stay in the same power envelopes, which currently is a maximum of 125 watts for the FX, up to 110 watts for the X2 dual-core, 104 watts for the single-core Athlon 64 and 62 watts for the Sempron.

The Socket M2 will not be limited to the new product introductions but also applied to chips such as the FX-57 as well as the highest performing Athlon64 single-cores (3500+ and higher) and dual-core Athlon64s (4200+ and higher).

The roadmap also gave new insight in AMD's DDR2 strategy. DDR2 support will first be demonstrated with prototype boards for the 1 MByte L2-version of the Athlon 64 in August of this year with the FX and 12 x 1 MByte Athlon64 X2 (Toledo) following in September. Mass production support for DDR2 is scheduled to arrive in the second quarter of 2006
