It's 939 AMD said so

EDIT: Operaton are still SKT 940 Though.

AMD's dual core CPUs will use the same sockets that they use now. http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/MC_Whitepaper_vFINAL.pdf

(Check the top of page 6 on this white paper)

socket 939.

and i believe they will out perform any of current, as they'll start from 2.4GHz, as if to see 4000+ @ 2.4 and 1MB L-2. so starting Dual core will be like 2 X 4000+, that simple means 50% performance rise (as 100% cannot be due to limitation of data buses), so assumed to be 50% increase theorotically.
and as they will be on 90nm, so may be they'll feed the processors with 2MB each L2 cache makign it 4MB on one chip.

they sound sweet but ur coolings gonna have to be good to run then. i know they arent gonna be 2x the heat but still gonna just ur temps up abit. also i know they are gonna be on 939 but does that mean they will be compatable with todays motherboards or will the not work or maybes sumthing like a bios flash will be needed?
