| 773959 | 2009-05-15 00:37:00 | After the launch of Phenom II 920 and 940 parts for AM2+ sockets the newly launched Phenom II 955 and 940 are for AM3 motherboards only. I am buying a AM2+ motherboard and what i would like to know is will AMD be releasing more AMD Phenom II for AM2+ slots in future?? I am planning on getting a cheapy Phenom or X2 CPU for now and then when prices fall for Phenom II for AM2+ slots then i can upgrade BUT i am not sure if AMD will drop the Phenom II for AM2+ slots now or in very near future in which case I may not even get a Phenom II for AM+2 Any ideas how long AMD will be pumping out more or newer Phenom II for AM2+ motherboards? Or is Phenom II 940 the last one for AM2+ socket and only AM3 will be released from here on ???? If that is the case then my AM2+ mb will be a waste :( Thanks |

| 773961 | 2009-05-15 00:49:00 | Probably not. The will probably continue with the range they have at the moment, but I would not expect to see anything majorly new. If you have a AM2+ mb going to waste I can help you recycle it. :) |
