Suddently, when Informal replies to me with more speculation it's alright with you, hypocrisy!

If you would have bothered reading my posts you'd know why speculating is all we can do.

AMD can tell us that you need new sockets on the server side, but they keep quiet about all client sockets in the slides, that's unusual.

It's not the end of the world if AM3+ boards doesn't work with Komodo, but I think it's people's right to be aware of it, before they go AM3+ in the first place.


It's possible, of course, but the idea of a socket that works with either PCIe on- or off-die sounds far fetched to me.
After all, they're replacing G34/C32, possibly for the same reason.
If they admitted that AM3+ would be compatible with Komodo it would be to easy to apply the C2012 specs on AM3+, and thus predict some of the surprises with AM3+ that is responsible for the scraped compatibility with AM3.
