Now it’s time for the other half of the story, as AMD unveils Socket AM3 with its support for 1333MHz DDR3 system memory.
AMD's Phenom II: now with DDR 3 support
AMD has launched five new models of Socket AM3 Phenom II, with three models in both retail and tray packaging, and two models that are only available in trays for system builders. The retail parts are:
While the two tray parts are:
Because these are tray parts we do not have prices. But here are AMD's official specs for the parts:

Voltage range | Voltage range 0.8 - 1.55 V Socket 754 was the original socket for AMD's Athlon 64 desktop processors. Due to the introduction of newer socket layouts (i.e. Socket 939, Socket 940 and Socket AM2), Socket 754 has become the more "budget-minded" socket for use with AMD Athlon 64 or Sempron processors. In comparison, it differs from Socket 939 in several areas:
Although AMD has promoted Socket 754 as a budget platform on the desktop and encouraged mid and high end users to use newer platforms, Socket 754 remained for some time as AMD's high end solution for mobile applications, (e.g. the HP zv6000 series). However, Socket S1 has been released and is slated to supersede Socket 754 in the mobile CPU segment through its support for dual core CPUs and DDR2 SDRAM.

AMD has won its game of "cache up" with Intel. The newest Athlon XP processors, code-named Barton, have double the Level 2 cache of previous models. Our first tests show the results: Barton-based Athlon XP 3000+ systems flew through productivity work, just topping the fastest Pentium 4 systems we've tested. AMD-based PCs also continue to triumph in the pricing contest, often selling for hundreds less than comparably configured P4 computers.

*A patch cable is an electrical or optical cable, used to connect one electronic or optical device to another for signal routing. Devices of different types (ie: a switch connected to a computer, or switch to router) are connected with patch cords. It is a very fast connection speed. Patch cords are usually produced in many different colors so as to be easily distinguishable.
