"And 939 pins? What is up with that?!"

I am very dubious about a 939 pin socket. The only explanation I can think of is that AMD has decided to allow for a dual A64 system with a 16 bit cHTT link. Even that is real shakey, since they could still use the normal 940 pin socket. I know, the argument is that AMD wants to have product differentiation, but they could do that with a 940 pin socket, just don't bond the pins for the other HTT links. The BIOS could check the processor ID to make sure the system was set up properly.
