Hi all,
I was looking at AMDs roadmap and they don't specify what sockets the different cores will be on. So far, it seems Palermo is the only .09 micron chip for socket 754. Has their been any announcements of winchester or venice chips being packaged for socket 754 soon?

I really hope you are being sarcastic.

First off Epox is rumored to be making a 754 NF4Ultra.

Secondly they will run out of .13micron 754 soon enough and it will all be .9micron at that point. Due to business considerations it WILL happen...prolly in a few months. As you can see the new sempron 754's are .9 micron! I would believe though that they will do like the sempron and perhaps disable like SSE3 which yields very little but you will still have the .9 micron process etc etc.

754 will live on gentlemen...at least for now. Look at the benchies a 754 running at 2.0 will outperform a 939 at 1.8 although the rating is the same...makes sense from a marketing standpoint but not from a cost out of my pocket versus performance perspective...do the DD...you will see.
