Re: Why? AMD official roadmaps show HT3 in 2007 for a long time ... A couple weeks ago in this thread it was noted that Charlie mentioned at Ace's Hardware that he didn't believe HT3 would be coming until late 2007 at the earliest. He felt it wouldn't be in the first 65-nm CPUs because the spec was just ratified while the 65-nm designs were already completed and the CPUs may be taped-out or close to tape-out. EDIT: Anandtech is reporting 2008 for QC K8L: dailytech.com In early 2008, AMD's corporate roadmap claims a quad core desktop CPU will make an appearance, dubbed Greyhound. Greyhound is slated to become the first quad-core AMD chip to use the HyperTransport 3 bus, and the memory controller is slated to support DDR2 and DDR3. Unlike Deerhound, Greyhound will use the K8L architecture, and all the goodies that come with it, including the 5.2GT/s HyperTransport support. Unless AMD's plans change drastically between now and 2008, the processors will require a new socket. There are very few details of the other two processor families, but hopefully future forums will get a chance to touch on some of those developments as they firm up. However, we do know that server processor cores are expected to migrate to K8L after Deerhound. So is HKEPC: translate.google.com
