AMD - socket F

[robina_80]

are these the quad cores or just another dual core

Socket F is AM2.

AMD's Socket F will be a LGA-type socket with 1207 pins, and is an entirely new design from current Opteron sockets. We've read that the new socket will be used for upcoming dual-core Opterons as well as quad-core Opterons.

Socket F is the base for the AMD Quad FX Platform (referred to as "4x4" prior to release), unveiled by AMD on November 30, 2006. This modified version of Socket F, named Socket 1207 FX by AMD, and Socket L1 by NVIDIA, allows for dual-socket, dual-core (four effective cores) processors in desktop PCs for home enthusiasts.

so if you buy 2 socket f cpus and if you got the mobo you can have quad core?

 

[Lonewolf5460]

you can have up to 8 cores

The only quad core AMD has available is the Quad FX, and it's not really worth it in my opinion. Just look at the price of THIS motherboard.

how? two dual cores = 4 cores

 

[COD2_fanatic]

true quad core is on ONE package, not two. Although AMD does have a nice concept it sucks up WAY to much power and money. If you want anything close to true quad core, look at Intels line of Quads

 

[turtile]

AMD's current platform is better than intels. It has two memory controllers instead of one seperate one that intel has.

The 4 cores in Intel would be much faster if they were implemented like AMD.

No true quad cores exist right now. You're going to have to wait until mid year.
