How far will AMD go with Socket 939?

I just hope they make it to 3.0 GHz stock, but i have this feeling that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

When that happens, i'll be upgrading for sure 🙂
 
AMD's bringing on a new socket in 2006 is the word - socket M2 as far as the desktop is concerned. It'll be moving back to a Socket A paradigm in the sense that new-gen budget, mainstream, and performance chips will all share the same socket.

Seems that Socket 939, and 754 to a certain extent, will be supported throughout next year as well. Within that time, I full well expect for AMD to break the 3 GHz barrier on the Hammer core.
 
Supposedly Socket M2 will be because of support for DDR2 along with whatever other upgrades they come up with.

Is the Sempron basically replacing the XP from here on out and socket A going the way of the dodo very fast??

Yeah you got it. Socket A will soon be a fond memory. I think Sempron 754 will make a great successor though. The performance and overclocking should be good - it'll just lack the 64-bit action of the Athlon. But then again, so did Athlon XP of course.
 
I hope they put off DDR2 in favor of DDR3. Samsung already has prototype. Though I suppose with onboard controllers and a large L2 the latency of DDR2 wouldn't be that bad.
 
By 2006 i would hope they have DDR2 Mem with a latency of 2-5-5 @ 667 Mhz at least ... I can always dream cant I? 😀
 
good to hear about the new socket, that kinda makes me not buying a 939 and getting a 754 instead all the better. as im gonna have to buy new mobo, ram n cpu and graphics card anyway in 2006

nice to know i save a bit of cash
 
Christmas they'll swicth to 1271, in the mean time I predict:

May:
FX-57 2.8Ghz
4200-2.6Ghz 1mb lvl2
3600-2.2Ghz 1mb Lvl2

August-
Dual cores @ 1.8, 2.0, 2.2

November-
FX-59 - 3.0 ghz
and a Dual core 2.4
