AMD Processor Roadmap, Launch Dates Revealed

[Wildside]

i ment i havn't seen a list (good list) for the 940 and supported motherboards for AM2/AM2+.
AM3 list was for a 'ball park' idea of what was being supported for deneb and a good chance imo of what you could see supported for the 940
probably should of explained that...

the high-end Phenom II 945 3.0GHz (aka 940) will be AM3, but is backwards compatible with AM2/AM2+ mobos. AM2/AM2+ processors (including the upcoming Phenom IIs) will not be compatible with AM3 mobos.

just stating the facts is all.

well, the 940 was already tested on multiple am2+ boards.

Its a native am2+ chip....pretty much every am2+ board should run it.

The 945 is the same chip, just for am3.

dude seriously, the stock paste that came with my HD 3870 x2 is a bit better then the MX-2. I reapplied the MX-2 because i put too much n there was hardly any difference before except for slightly higher temps, isnt that strange??

yes, i'm aware of that.
i baffed my posts trying to get across a point that i can't get from my head to keyboard.

There's a rumor that the AM2+ Deneb's will also work in AM3 boards too

i thought am2 deneb's couldn't because of no ddr3 controller?

well they'd have to have one if they do work in AM3
