"I recall Ruiz said that dual core would be plug compatible with existing Opteron (socket 940"

Which more or less contradicts what xbit labs is claiming. So what else is new?

Still, AMD might be considering a new socket to maximize dual (or more) core. If DDR2 doesn't get fast enough, they might want to support two different memory controllers and/or more HTT ports.

re: new socket in 2006

Maybe K9 will have a new socket.
