AMD’s Socket M2
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) plans to unify its CPU platform with the 940-pin Socket M2 CPU.
Intel has taken the same move already, to unify its desktop and notebook CPUs.
AMD plans to unify across it’s entire range from entry-level to high-end.
Although it will initially be aimed at the high-end market, it should move into the lower-end sometime next year.
Socket 939 and 754 should still be on the market at the end of this year.
The aim of this move is to reduce production costs, meaning that they only have to produce for one socket type.
