Will Llano and Bulldozer share the AM3+ Socket?

Or is Llano mobile only?

There is a desktop Llano but it uses the FM1 socket, not AM3+. I have no idea on the specs of FM1.

Llano is for desktop and notebook platforms. It will not use the AM3+ socket. There will be separate chip-sets for desktops and notebooks, although I cannot remember off the top of my head which sockets they will be using. (Edit: ninja'd it is FM1, apparently).

llano needs a new socket to get the processed video data off the processor and toward the hdmi/dvi/vga/whatever port.

I don't think they share sockets, it say A50M chipset not sure what it is but defintiely NOT AM3+: here's link to newegg product page for a E350 chip+mb package:

E350 is Ontario, not Llano. AFAIK the Ontario socket is referred to as FT1.
