    I think you misinterpreted the article.

    It says that AM3 CPU's will be compatible with AM3+ motherboards, not the other way around. The article says that new chips (Bulldozer-based Zambezi) will only be compatible with AM3+ motherboards. However, you can use old Phenom II/Athlon II processors with an AM3+ motherboard as well.
