AMD Socket 900?!?

AMD Socket 900?!?

The Inq has a rumor that AMD is testing a new 90nm [b]Socket 900[/b] chip codenamed [b]Toledo[/b]

A REPORT ON AMD Board claims that Advanced Micro Devices is testing a 90 nanometre DDR silicon on insulator (SOI) processor using a new-fangled 900 pin socket and codenamed Toledo.

That, the site claims, will be introduced in the second quarter of next year.

And, it adds, dual core DDR-2 90 nanometre chips will follow just a few months after that.

    Thrax AMD's own roadmap states that the Toledo CPU is a dual-core 90nm process with DDR2 support debuting H2 '05.
