In termini produttivi, AMD prevede che entro la fine dell'anno la totalità dei processori prodotti all'interno delle proprie fabbriche sarà del tipo Socket AM2, fatta eccezione per una quota residua del 5% in processori Socket 754. Non troveremo pertanto più traccia di processori Socket 939, che continueranno a restare disponibili sul mercato solo nella forma di scorte di magazzino. La migrazione completa verso la piattaforma Socket AM2 avverrà, come segnala xbitlabs a questo indirizzo, anche attraverso l'introduzione sul mercato di nuovi processori desktop della linea Athlon 64 X2 per il segmento top di gamma del mercato. La tabella seguente delinea le caratteristiche tecniche di questi futuri processori: Con il modello Athlon 64 X2 6.000+ AMD per la prima volta raggiungerà, in soluzioni desktop, la frequenza di clock di 3 GHz, pur se a prezzo di un incremento del TDP sino a 125 Watt contro gli 89 Watt delle altre versioni di processore Athlon 64 X2. fonte:hardwareupgrade

Impressionante notizia... appena vista su Xbit labs: " Diamond Flower Information, a well-known second-tier mainboard maker, may stop producing mainboards for desktops in order to concentrate on industrial solutions. While the information is not confirmed, this would fit into typical strategy of smaller motherboard manufacturers to withdraw from the mainstream market. According to Spanish-language ChileHardware web-site, DFI will withdraw from the market of enthusiast and desktop-class mainboards due to flat sales or market share increases. DFI became well known among enthusiasts several year ago with the release of the LanParty mainboard series, which has become very popular among overclockers since then. However, the primary business of DFI are mainboards for industrial computing, a more predictable market with stable sales that does not require massive investments into research and development. Taiwan-based DFI said it was the world’s No. 7 largest mainboard manufacturer back in 2001 and has branches in the U.S., Japan, Europe and China. Mainboard market has been experiencing serious reshuffling in the recent years, as larger players have been gaining market share rather quickly. As a result, consolidations in the mainboard and computer components markets have been going for several years now just like re-focusing of several compaines. During the last 12 to 18 months Walton acquired a stake in Chaintech, Abit was bought by USI, Leadtek Research teamed up with Foxconn, Gigabyte formed joint-venture with Asus and several other deals were conducted. Officials for DFI did not comment on the news-story." Aspettiamo conferme o disdette... Marco
