AMD to display three new sockets during IDF 2006

AMD will as usual be at Intel Developer Forum and during this spring’s event it will reveal no less than three new processor platforms, Socket-AM2, Socket-S1 and Socket-F. Simply AMD’s DDR2 platforms for the three markets; desktop, mobile and server. Socket-AM2, which we have been reporting a lot about lately, will use 940 pins, while Socket-S1 for the mobile market, with support for Turion 64 X2, will use 754 pins. The server platform, Socket-F, goes big and brings 1207 pins and uses the LGA form factor, which means that instead of the processor having pins the socket has them, just as Intel’s Socket 775.
