FX-62 and X2 5000+ not to appear for socket 939
How long will AM2 and Socket F last? AMD may eventually release faster 939 CPUs in the future, but likely, due to the incorporation of DDR-2 memory controllers in their AM2 CPUs, it won't happen.

I always thought that they were going to be on AM2 only. Never read that they might be released on 939! |

Wow, that bites, and one of my friends just bought a brand new 939 board. Oh well, don't think he'll want to go that high any time soon anyway. |

So, say just comparing, whats all the differences besides the pin count between 775 939 and AM2? |

For the past 5 years I would say half of the socket changes have not had enough merit (both on Intel and AMD camps), and have been a good excuse for users to put down even more cash for whole upgrades. |

I have to admit, I've found the plethora of socket changes over the past couple of years to be a little bit over the top.One thing I admired AMD for more than anything else was the longevity of Socket A. While all good things must come to an end, the lifespan of 754 has been rediculous, and 939 isn't far behind it! |
