More and more Asus motherboards for cpu Socket AM3

"Increase the list of motherboards Asus certified compatible with AMD cpu Socket AM3, to debut in early 2009"


ASUS, worldwide leader of motherboard production, has once again kept up with leading trends and technologies with the announcement to release a wide range of high-performance motherboards that will take advantage of the most high-end and upcoming AMD AM3 CPUs.
This new generation of AMD CPUs will encompass the 45nm infrastructure, and will be equipped with C1E halt states for advanced power savings. The most distinguishing feature of the AM3 CPUs is the fact that they will support DDR3 RAM.
In order to meet user demands for top-of-the-line CPUs that deliver advanced performance, the ASUS M3/M2 Series motherboards will offer the most product lines completed to fully support the upcoming AM3 CPUs, and expected to debut during the first months of next year.

We talk of future processors for desktop systems built with technology to 45 nanometers, belonging to the family Phenom X4 and Phenom X3 architecture respectively with quad core and triple core. The first Phenom X4 processors with technology to 45 nanometers, belonging to the family of cpu Deneb, are expected to debut in January 2009 and will use Socket AM2 + peer connect to the motherboard.

AM3 CPU Ready Motherboards
The list below shows the ASUS motherboards that are currently AM3 CPU-ready. For users who have already purchased the M3 or M2 Series motherboards, a simple BIOS update is all that is needed to support future AM3 CPUs. The following list will be continuously updated and more AM3 CPU-ready ASUS motherboards are expected to be announced soon.

future AMD cpu to 45 nanometers for desktop systems, the list made available at the time could increase over the next few weeks, with the approach of the debut of CPU Socket AM3.

We remember how AMD has chosen to maintain full compatibility mechanical level Socket between AM3 processors and motherboards equipped with Socket AM2 +, obviously provided that bios and power circuitry properly support the new CPU. The compatibility between these two components is ensured by the presence inside the Socket AM3 processors, not just a DDR3 memory controller but also a kind of DDR2, which ensures that the motherboards Socket AM2 +, developed in combination with DDR2 memory modules and not mechanically compatible with those DDR3 can operate correctly with the new CPU. Not true compatibility between processors Socket AM2 and Socket AM3 motherboards, as they are compatible only with DDR3 memory that can not be used in combination with DDR2 memory controller of the CPU Socket AM2.

"first Phenom X4 processors with technology to 45 nanometers, belonging to the family of cpu Deneb, are expected to debut in January 2009 "of course!
Comments: look forward to an open heart for these new AMD processors. Personally I hope that the voices on posibile overclock to 4GHz are based, so we could buy a CPU at 3GHz and 4GHz actual exploiting it, which we can not make it obsolete for a year at least.

I do not think its recent statement should be as one and a half years of life if not more, Is a non soket AM2 and AM2 + not even supported at the phenom first set, I do not think this scandal. (and still supports the phenom does not support phenom2 XD)

[Golfert]

Indeed you are right, it should support up to 1 phenom series.
I think that however we can equip DD2 quietly even 1066, with an X2 processor

Here we talk about compatibility of socket AM3, but since the first Phenom 2 will be on socket AM2 + should not fit the same M2N32?
