Bulldozer AM3: false hopes

Two of our German colleagues had been told at CeBit that future AMD Bulldozer could be compatible with current socket AM3 motherboards. This information was contradicted by AMD. John Fruehe, marketing manager for AMD's server products, reiterated that the company had said in August 2010: The Bulldozer general public will not be compatible with socket AM3.

The sockets are physically different (942-pin socket AM3 +, 941 of socket AM3), a BIOS update will therefore not change. For cons, the Bulldozer for servers will actually be compatible with current platforms, G34 and C32. In addition, some motherboard manufacturers such Asrock decided to launch cards AM3 + using the current generation AMD chipset (Round 8) instead of the 9 series chipsets are expected along the Bulldozer.
