Pete, there is as yet no official public roadmap from AMD with any K8L references. What we have is websites claiming to have information from private roadmaps. Here's the info that more than 1 site is refering to: Behind closed doors, insiders revealed to DailyTech a few tidbits of the long term quad core roadmap. AMD will introduce no less than four quad-core families over the next two years, with the first being Deerhound. Deerhound, we are told, will be a Socket F server processor expected to ship late next year on the K8 -- not K8L -- architecture. Deerhound did not appear to support FB-DIMM. 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. dailytech.com "Rumor" sites are all we have to go on at this point.
