But it is unclear how long processors in current form-factor continue to evolve. “We strive to provide our customers with a stable computing platform for as long as possible. Current AMD64 sockets will serve our customers well into the future. Eventually, technology takes strides that require revisiting the way components interact within a PC to improve performance, stability and value,” an AMD spokesperson told X-bit labs.
