Yup, its called larrabee and is based off of the original pentium processors. Its going to be an x86 gpu, which is supposed to help for gpgpu tasks because developers can program in the same environment as desktop cpu's.

Also, list updated with all currently available AMD 700 series chipsets.

LAWLS it's gonna fail. AMD has a better chance as they know what they high-performance gamer wants.

Updated with nvidia chipsets, and listing of current AM2+ and AM3 cpu's.

Exiting, is it not? The only 980a motherboard on the market is am2+, but the 980a chipset will support socket am3(as in the actualy AM3 socket, and not just run am3 cpu's on an am2+ socket) and support ddr3, if motherboard manufacturers include it(while 780a does not, but it is physically the same chip). Im hoping XFX, EVGA, Zotac or someone else goes ahead with the 980a reference board, it really is a great looking board:

well, Intel does have the GMAs in Macs. well, older macs that is. Their GMAs are also in many other Windows laptops, and even bottom-line desktops

Exactly the reason i think larrabee will fail miserably... hehe

Here is the stupid question.

Which one (AM2+ or AM3) is better for the future upgrades and performance?

Bodaggit23 · 08-04-2009, 05:30 PM

Am3
