AMD Socket-M2 CPUs to be unwrapped at CeBIT

"Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has reached agreements with unspecified Taiwan motherboard makers for presenting its next-generation Socket-M2 processors at CeBIT 2006, industry sources noted.

By the end of this month, most motherboard makers will receive samples of AMD's next-generation 940-pin platform for sampling for the March 9-15 CeBIT exhibition, according to the sources. Those motherboard companies, however, will need to follow customer confidentiality agreements with AMD and only showcase the respective M2-based models during the show while not revealing detailed specifications.

AMD plans to stop production of its 939- and 754-pin platforms by the first quarter of 2007, the sources indicated."
