[grego]

Does anyone know what socket AMD plans to launch their dual-core chips on?

I had seen people posts socket 939

the AMD newsletter and insider webpages say directly that 939 is the socket that will get dual core, so id say they probably aren't gonna make it up ... so socket 939 will support dual core, however im not too anxious to get my hands on it til they program games to support SMP and all that good stuff.

1207 Socket is the future for AMD.

The dual core's/cpu's name is the Toledo SLI Dual Core...

Hmmm, I'm not sure about it, but I don't think programs will need to support SMP to get the performance gain of dual-core cpus. I mean it's still just one cpu... Correct me if I'm wrong.

Dual Core K8 will be the K9, and the next architecture will be K10, much to my surprise.

Technically the dual cores (K9) should be 939, but I doubt they will exclude dual core from the K10s in the future.
