    The Unlocked Multiplier doesn't says anything, as neither the IMC that works with Unbuffered Memory Modules. Don't forget than the SH-CG Core (Sledgehammer/Clawhammer) was available on S754, S939 and S940, yet it was the same physical Core with enabled or disabled features (From an S754 A64 with only Single Channel capabilities and 512 KB Cache L2 (Half of the 1 MB Cache L2 disabled) to the S940 Opterons 8xx working with Buffered + ECC Memory Modules).
    What we still don't know is what is supposed to be different in these new A64 FX-7x to work in Socket F Motherboards with regular Unbuffered Memory Modules. Its impossible than it is a Chipset based modification because the Memory Controller is in the Processor itself, probabily a Pin that controls the obligatory Buffered Memory Modules requeriment is unconnected or is a BIOS-based sort of hack. We also don't know if Opterons works on 4x4 platform Motherboards (And if they do without using Unbuffered Memory Modules) or viceversa with A64 FX-7x in regular Opterons Motherboards.
    About the regular Socket F Opterons xxxx, all them uses the Rev. JH-F2 Core (Opterons 2xxx got a CQ OPN surfix and Opterons 8xxx a CR surfix, no other versions are available), being the A64 FX-7x the first ones to debut with the new JH-F3 one. However, considering than all the K8 features in that generation are there and they can be enabled or disabled, AMD can use it for any Socket M2/F Athlon 64/Opteron model that they want to.
