The Register meldt in een artikel over de AMD Thunderbird dat AMD tot eind dit jaar Socket A én Slot A versies van z'n processors zal produceren. Dit is in ieder geval prettig nieuws voor de eigenaars van een Slot A plank:
This report claims that AMD will keep both Slot A and its up-and-coming Socket A packaging going until the end of this year. The same report suggests that AMD's up and coming Mustang chip will have on-die cache of as much as 2Mb. These chips will be aimed at the workstation and server markets. The Mustang is named after the motorcar rather than the aeroplane.[...] As reported here before, Alpha Processing Inc (API) will produce chipsets for multiprocessing AMD microprocessors. AMD itself will only produce two-way SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) chipsets.
