AMD roadmap

Clearly I have been neglecting my blogging responsibilities. However, straight back into Geek talk with details from AMD:

AMD announce major socket transition from Socket A to Socket 754 pin

AMD has recently announced that Socket A processors (Sempron) will become end of life during this quarter and no further shipments will be made from AMD on these products after mid June. The replacement product will be the Socket 754 Sempron. Please ensure that you are working with this roadmap to transition your builds from Socket A to Socket 754 during this timescale and that you have taken sufficient stock of any Socket A product to smooth this transition.To assist the market in a quick transition AMD recently moved the price down on their 754 pin products in line with the Socket A.

So pip pip and hooray, for cheaper gear.
