I thought i was clear. AM2 is same as AM2+ just no HTT3.0.

Low-end chips which would go into low end motherboards will not need as much as bandwidth as top end. Therefore there is no reasony why low end chips should have HTT3.0 links which would make them cost more.

AM2 will still exist, hence the reason why its still on roadmap, together with AM2+ because they are one and the same. So my point being until AMD sees that thier low end chips are being heavly crippled by lack of bandwidth they will keep the HTT1.0 links in which would continue the support for AM2 sockett. So really the naming scheme has alot to do with it because AM2 is made for mass market consumers not hardware the likes of hardware builders that have Sockett 1207.

Did i mention that AM2 and AM2+ are the same sockett?
