milkinc13 said:this is probably a stupid question but oh well, is Barcelona going to be on skt AM2 or on AM3? and is this the beginning of the new K8L chips or are they comming out later on?
If it will run on an AM2 board that will be a real brucie bonus and a big win for AMD - I think a lot of people will make the switch if that is the caseGashman said:i believe AM2 and AM3 are pin compatable, so it works on both, though if you run it on AM2 board you run on DDR2 and AM3 runs DDR3 and HT3.0, barcelona IS K8L

jaykay said:k10/K8L will be in many forms
quad core
and dual core
the dual core will still have the 2mb l2 cache
k10/K8L isnt just barcelona
Gashman said:i think you shall find K10 is NOT K8L, and barcelona is infact K8L in the opteron quad-core flavour, with kuma being the athlon desktop dual core variant and agena being desktop quad-core variant, no details at all about K10 have been put forth as of this time
jaykay said:why do half of the reviews call it k10 and the others say k8l![]()
