AMD Shows off Three new Sockets at Spring IDF 2006

If you’re expecting something earth shattering from AMD or finally some specifications for their 2007 CPU lineup, you’ll have to wait longer. AMD tells us that after Socket-AM2 and its mobile/server variants are launched then they will begin talking about their new architectures. We’ve tried to get more, sooner, but haven’t been successful yet. Now on to what we were able to see.

The first socket they look at is the S1, which the mobile Turion 64 X2 will be using. Basically, it’s a mobile version of the AM2, and includes DDR2 support. Socket-F is on the server side of things, which again is similar to AM2 and supports DDR2. It rolls in at a whopping 1207 pins! Read a lot more at AnandTech.
