Athlon 64 5400+, FX-64, Energy Efficient Athlons and AM2 details revealed

AMD has been quite the busy bee lately. The Athlon FX-60 launched a few weeks ago, the Opteron x85 series launches in a few weeks, and the whole platform will get an overhaul in early June. AMD's latest roadmap reveals more about all of these projects and adds several more that have not yet been disclosed.

AMD's newest roadmaps claim the new 940 pin Socket AM2 will launch at Computex Taipei on June 6, 2006... that's 6-6-6 for those of you playing at home. The AM2 socket is not compatible with existing Socket 940 CPUs, but will allow AM2 processors to utilize up to DDR2-800.

Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 FX and Sempron will all use the AM2 socket. The unified socket should alleviate many of the nightmares system builders experienced during the Socket 754/939 haydays -- and will also help AMD consolidate its manufacturing.
