Actually, Phenom II never launched at all in 2008.
It was always 2009. I don't know why I believed you for once

So? thats besides the point, DDR3 AM3 was launched several weeks after Phenom II x4 CPU's.
I doubt AMD had two Phenom II launches in a few weeks, one with a DDR3 controller and one without, that makes no sense at all...
Actually, why don't you tell me which version of the Phenom II X4 chip didn't have a DDR3 memory controller.

As you wish........ as you are so determined with this.... lets run with that, so AMD launched two separate Phenom II X4 CPU's one with and one without a DDR3 memory controller, this after they launched a DDR3 board in the form of AM3.
Thats even more ridiculous.
Again, which model Phenom II X4 did not have a DDR3 memory controller?
I'm not determined with anything, you're the one rewriting history.

No DDR3 controller.
Even IF it did have a DDR3 controller, what would be the relevance? It still launched in 2009 and couldn't use DDR3 as it couldn't fit in a DDR3 board, which never launched till a few months later.
You have a problem believing history because you weren't around to experience it. That's neither my problem nor fault.
That is very odd, and on the site, in one instance they list sockets AM2 and AM2+ and at the bottom they cite different TDP's for AM2+ and AM3.
Why would the chip be compatible on a DDR3 board if it didn't have a DDR3 IMC and why would the TDP be different on AM2 than on AM3 if they are not using different components, like a DDR3 vs DDR2 IMC?

There was actually a couple of Phenom2 CPUs that were AM2+ only (the 940BE and 920).
Here the 940 is listed as AM3/AM2+

Because it hadn't been certified at the time. There were some cross gender AM2+ boards at the time.
Seems this now really has gone off topic lol.
What on earth has happened in this thread?
Why are we fixated on the probability that zen will have a limited memory frequency in comparison to SL / KL?
Realistically the performance gains in anything other than memory benchmarking will be minimal of at all. You can gain more with tight timing vs higher clock rates in a lot of situations.
I honestly don't think this will impact on how these new chips will compete with desktop class Intel chips (may be different in workstations / servers where memory bandwidth is more key).
That being said AMD may see this as a factor in pricing and hopefully will have them undercut Intel chip for chip
