I remember something about future AMD CPUs

[linkgoron]

I remember that people said that future AMD cpus(I think this was last year) will have PCI-e controlers built into the CPU (like the memory contolers) did I miss it and they added it to AM2, are they going to add it in the future or have they scraped it?

Just wondering, so if any you guys can tell me, please do... Thanks.

Well esentially its that HTX slot. Something to do with the 4*4 platform

AM2 CPUs are exactly the same as 754/939 CPUs except for the DDR2 usage.

an integrated PCIE controller is something that has been toyed with, but not currently announced for any AMD CPU.

That is untrue.

Aside from DDR2, AM2 CPUs also have AMD-V (virtualization tech)...and the rumored rHT. I'm not saying it's there just that it's rumored.

That is untrue.

Feature-wise, yes, it is.

What about AMD virtualization? I would call that a feature.

Also they've reduced power consumption a bit.

Heard the same, but it was a future, maybe thing. Sounds neat 🙂
