... that the new CPUs will generally work on older chipsets as the interface is the same meaning that you can upgrade the CPU on a motherboard without buying a new motherboard assuming the manufacturer has updated BIOS that supports the new CPU. This means the cost of a new platform is less than on the Intel side of things since you don't have to spend the extra money that new memory and have the expense of a new motherboard as you would on the Intel side with their new platform.

Phenom II X3 710 Review
AMDZone Frontpage —
Motherboards.org has reviewed the Phenom II X3 710. At 2.6GHz you get 3 cheap cores, but the multiplier is locked. You can grab it here starting at $128. Note that if you are buying a motherboard with DDR3 support you will be forced to buy the Phenom IIs that are on the AM3 interface. This leads to an interesting situation where the fastest AM2+ CPU, the 940 is noticeably faster than the fastest AM3 CPU. As we move further into 2009 and new AMD CPUs are released on the AM3 platform, I'm sure the speeds will surpass the AM2+ platform CPUs.
