Why they want to put in some transition product like AM2+ , nth difference than AM2 except HT 3.0 and better power saving

i recommend the next upgrade should bypass AM2+ whistling.gif

Actually AM2+ is misleading consumers in some way.

Back in socket A, every chipset change with higher FSB support doesnt change the name of the socket. We never see Socket A, Socket A+, Socket A++ or whatever.

Now, AMD decided to change the naming when the system bus is upgraded. AM2+ is a good example. It is exactly the same as AM2 socket, but with a different chipset and system bus, that's all.

AM2 --> AM2+ is as simple as Socket A with VIA KT333 --> socket A with VIA KT400A.

but is it possible that am2+ will be based on ddr3?
