AMD Socket 939 in Late March

At least according to x-bit labs.
"The new platform, as revealed earlier, will feature Socket 939 for appropriate processors with dual-channel memory controller and up to 1000MHz HyperTransport bus. Currently partners of AMD are evaluating samples of 939-pin CPUs in order to get ready to start mainboard production in mid-February 2004 and initiate shipping actual products in mid-March 2004."
I have also heard that all of the new 754pin processors will no longer have 1 meg of L2 cache. Instead they will feature a smaller and cheaper 512k L2 cache which will begin to put a little distance between the a64 and aFX processors both in price and performance.
