  • Amd Hammer Socket?

    Will the new AMD hammer be based on Socket A or a totally new design. Or does anyone even know?

    I've seen a pic of AMD's socket 748 (or something?) that could be for it, makes sense.
    There is a whole lota pins on that thing.

      Are they gonna do what Intel did? A much smaller socket but a pin at ever like half millimeter or something? Or is it gonna be like an extra large thing.

        Here's a pic of the "Clawhammer" and the size and HSF setup will be similar to Intel's P4. ;)
        Also this should be in the AMD forum so I'll move it over there. : peace2:

          well nvidia's new nforce2 motherboards supposedly are all about the athlon k8 series - does it really have all those pins?

            Is that a metal plate on the core? I thought I'd never see the day.....

              Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think the C'Hammer supports both 32 & 64 Bit OS. That in part explains the increase in pin density.:hammer:

                Yes Nervagent55 that chipset is supose to support "Clawhammer" but it will have a different socket setup to what's used for the present Athlon/Duron one plus the memory controller would have to be dropped, disabled or modified as "Clawhammer" has an inbuilt one. ;)

                Yes RD the heat spredder will be there this time. :thumb:

                  They did it for the K6 family I'm not sure about the K5 though I never had one. Why did they decide to lose the metal plate for the K7 familiy?

                    Yes it will support both types and unlike Intel's Itanium it won't take a performance hit to do it which is why Intel is now workin' flat out on "Yamhill". :laugh:

                      Prior to the K6 CPU's the core was underneath in the socket but I spose the dropped the heat spreader at that time as Intel didn't use them then and they probably wanted to distance the K7 away from the K6 at that time. :smokin:

                          well they are going to rape intel processors.......because someone said a few weeks ago that they released hammers to various companies at 800MHz for testing purposes and some benchmarks got released and they were comparing very well up against 1.6-1.8GHz P4's. That doesn't really corrolate to real word benchmarks though, I'm still a beleiver casue lately AMD hasn't done anything in the past few months, and truthfully my opinion is after they terminated the thunderbird line up they only released the xp lineup just so they can have something on the market while hammer is under development.

                              They should come pooring in either late 2002 or earlier to mid 2003.
