It looks like this release of the AM2 is mostly to propogate platform migration. I guess the good news is that the price structure really hasn't shifted that much for the procs and there is still a slight performance boost. Hopefully memory of size and quality will soon be priced to match their DDR performance counterparts as well.

It actually looks like the advances has to be in the core itself before a significant performance gain can be realized. Too bad they don't have Folding bench marks too.
