Socket 939 CPU's

Question?

Is Socket939 now dead or will AMD be going back too socket939 in any future processors.

Did they really need to make AM2 socket940 could this not have been done on the 939 chipset. Sorry if these questions seem a bit daft but I just don’t understand why a good processor can be abandoned so quickly. I know it’s all about improvement and progressing but couldn’t they have just stayed with socket 939 and could a BIOS update on motherboards worked for DDR2 memory.

Thanks for explaining about the voltage m8 didn't actually read up on the differences so that really explains it all too me.
