AMD 5000+ and FX62 support socket 939 shocker

A READER sent us a note that AMD will release Athlon 5000+ and FX 62 in socket 939 flavours. This is great news for many socket 939 supporters as we believed that 4800+ and FX 60 will be the last stop for you all. AMD certainly hasn’t made a big song and dance about it, but it clearly say on its website that it will support this old socket supporting DDR one with its new CPUs.

This is awesome news for those who don’t want to spend money on a new motherboard and ram. It would be very interesting to see how the same CPU compares on each platform. Perhaps the ultra low latency that DDR1 could provide may bring on better results? Check out the full posting at The Inquirer.
