cHT is likely always enabled. But with only one HT port, how can you connect to I/O with the port chewed up connecting to another CPU?

It only becomes a capability when you have more than one port. Segmentation comes from the width and speed of the ports. AM2+ won't be wide whereas F and F+ will be.


Why the underlying assumption that AM2 has only one HTT interface? AFAICT, AM2 has 3 HTT interfaces, just like S939 and S940.

Q: What are the major differences between socket AM2 and socket 939-pin?

A: Socket AM2 provides support for DDR2 memory. Socket AM2 is almost identical to socket 939 but uses a protective mechanism (a manufacturing “key”) designed to prevent any socket 939-pin CPUs (DDR1 only) from being inserted into a socket AM2 motherboard, and to prevent socket AM2 CPUs (DDR2 only) from being inserted into a socket 939-pin motherboard.
