Given the fact, the Phenom II upper very high potential, many fans are waiting for AMD certainly look, when such chips for Socket AM3 will be on sale. The point is that, for the idea, they should be more powerful than their relatives who support the Socket AM2 +, if only because they will work with memory DDR3. But according to Fudzilla, Phenom II AM3 is still very "raw", as AMD has not yet agreed to all the problems associated with the integration of DDR3 memory controller in the crystal processor.
At this time, the platform on the basis of DDR2 memory and processors with Socket AM2 + is not only faster but also cheaper, as well as DDR3 memory is almost two times more expensive than DDR2. The idea, Socket AM3 to provide 2-fold performance in comparison with the AM2 +, but so far this has not happened. At the moment, the only consolation for fans of AMD is that AM3 processors are compatible with the AM2 + boards and they get along fine with the memory of DDR2. It seems that most users do the same.
