The chips
use the new 939-pin package - already used in Opteron processors - which enable them to support a wider memory base and boosts performance. Opterons don't use the 939. They use the 940 package. DougH |

If you want to know about new processors.. try searchin alt.comp.hardware.amd for 'dual core processors' .. I've not verified what was said - but I read the post and it seems like AMD want to 'glue' two opterons together... now that is new news! (well its at least a week old) But then again.. on the internet news travels faster than ever before! including rumours! cant blame these guys for wanting to seem cool in a nerdy newsgroup...oops! I shouldnt say nerds... we're 'professionals' nowadays |
