Source?

Somehow I doubt AMD is completely dropping what is still a relatively young product line. The customers (and motherboard makers) would revolt. Especially considering that S939 is essentially the same as S940, and they can't stop making S940 server CPUs if they want to have any shot of competing in the server market. The current roadmap shows the Athlon64s lasting at least through the end of 2005, and just starting to move to dual core at that point. No mention of DDR2. Some rumors peg the "Toledo" dual-core Athlon64 FX as having DDR2 support (and maybe being on a different socket) -- but note that the single-core S939/754 processors are also shown as lasting through 2005 and beyond.

AMD processor roadmap

Look it up. Socket 940 will stay, I never said otherwise. They will continue to make 940/900 cpus for a while, 939 and 754 will be stopping.

Seems pretty blank for the second half of 05 for the desktop Athlon 64s so far......

???

You posted the same thing I did. Did you *look* at the roadmap?

The "Palermo", "Venice", and "San Diego" cores are the followup to Winchester and are also replacing Newcastle and Clawhammer -- they are 90nm, DDR1 desktop Athlon64s (possibly with some process improvements) on S754 and S939. You can clearly see that the arrows on those cores extend through the end of 2005, and have arrowheads indicating they will continue to be produced *past* the end of 2005.

AMD has said there will be drop-in dual-core replacement chips for Socket939 and Socket940, implying that "Toledo" will still be on S939. There might *also* be Socket900 "Toledo" dual-core A64s, but I cannot possibly see AMD just dropping S939 and S754 as soon as the rumored Socket900 makes its appearance. 754 -- maybe -- but last I heard they seemed pretty intent on keeping that as the value segment and phasing out SocketA completely first.

Did you have like a press release or something? Even a vague Inquirer rumor? Or are you just on crack?
