Have I missed Something - DDR3 CPU?

FrankJH said:
I think this is actually right - as far as I understood previously AMD are skipping DDR2 completely and moving to DDR3 with M2 chipset

Might be getting mixed up however
Not S939 replacement (AM2, previously known as the M2) will use DDR2.... but thats only a 940pin socket.
The 1207pin is the server side version. I've not seen any DDR3 memory, or it commented anywhere else. Maybe it just supports DDR3 but wont actually use it until (obviously) the mobos and ram comes out?
 
FrankJH -> No offence taken etc :}
What I was trying to get across (although not very well I admit) was the article im refering to is 1207pin (server) which is the upgrade from 940pin. Now, as AMD have proved, most of the time a change in memory will result in a change of socket.
I dont think AMD can call both the new 940pin and 1207pin the AM2 socket (as they are obviously different) - so when you mentioned that I thought u had gone off the rails.... but looking about now, I cant see the rails - so i must have gone off them as well :P

Also, I'm not 100% sure what the differences are, but DDR3 ram on graphics cards are GDDR3 ram.... Are they any different to what a normal computer would use? I have not a clue.... but maybe? :P
