AMD Drops Socket M2 for the Socket AM2, Because it Sounds Better
It seems that AMD didn’t like the media calling their upcoming socket “Socket M2” and have changed the name over to “Socket AM2”. Be sure to out geek your fellow buddies today at work by talking up your Socket AM2 platform that is going to run the Athlon64 X2 FX-62 Processor with a 333MHz HTT and see what their reaction is.
The name of new Socket won’t be known as “Socket 940 Second Coming” or long-time mentioned “Socket M2”, which resided in every roadmap of AMD CPU’s for next year. New name is Socket AM2, and we have learned that AMD will introduce not just new models, but will release Socket AM2 versions of egzisting CPU’s as well. We have come into a possesion of a roadmap which contains products that are part of AM2 ramp-up. New Socket AM2 is being occupied by three cores: Manilla, Orelans and Windsor. Manilla is the codename for new Sempr0ns, Orleans is the name for single-core AM2 offerings, while cream of the crop, dual-cores will come under the Windsor name.
