According to various sources, the two new AMD sockets are far from that expectation: Socket S1: made for notebooks this socket is way smaller that 734 counterpart with only 638 pins under the hood. The 638-pin socket S1 answer the need for smaller processor with lighter consumption and less heat. Socket M2: Still with 940 pins this socket is not pin-to-pin compatible with the first version. This socket-M2 is announcing an expected shift to DDR2 with a new design ot the integrated northbridge. You can see pictures of both at OC Workbench & PC POP ____________________________________________ 05/04/05 - AMD & Microsoft Discuss the 64-Bit Revolution AMD CTO Fred Weber is participating in a web chat with senior vice president of the Windows Server Division of Microsoft, Bob Muglia, on May 5, 2005, to help companies formulate the best possible strategy for migrating to 64-bit technology while avoiding the major financial or technical headaches typically associated with an architectural change. Weber and Muglia will discuss current and future enterprise-ready, high-availability systems for which the AMD Opteron processor based on AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture is optimized. Key issues for enterprises to consider when thinking about moving to 64-bit computing will be covered.

One endurance test ran continuously for 48 hours and transferred over 1,000 terabits (1 petabit) of user data between 96 FTP client machines and the single FTP server.
