AMD to Launch AM2 Socket at Computex

We met with a few friends of ours at AMD and tried to weasel out the exact launch date for the company’s AM2 socket. Although the replies were mostly mysterious, we were told that the socket was up and running. AMD also confirmed that samples have been delivered to their partners and motherboard production is well underway. If true, this should definitely enable AMD to have a massive hard launch.

After inquiring about the launch date itself, AMD said it would be right in time for the Back-to-School buying season.. ..launched in one of the important tradeshows in Q2 2006. Therefore, we are left with Computex, which is scheduled to take place starting June 6th. We feel this is precisely the right time for AMD to launch its next-gen. platform and catch the Back-to-School wave in August.
