Default socket G34 to replace AMx socket family
i found this on techpower up today and it seems pretty interesting AMD Vishera Packs Quad-Channel DDR3 IMC, G34 En Route Desktop? | techPowerUp. but one thing that im wondering is 1. will it have significant ipc increase and 2. how the hell will they fit a G34 socket on and quadchannel memory on an atx board?

Nice little tidbit youve found there. I don't see why they couldnt fit a G34 processor on a ATX mobo really, Just might to get a little creative or make it E-ATX for some breathing room.

In regards to your first question, the inclusion of "Hypertransport Assist" might help performance some and the extra 2 module couldnt hurt either.

As always with rumors though, its "wait and see"

How to fit a G34 and quad channel on an ATX board you say? I have one right next to me, actually. This one: Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Aplus Products | Motherboards | H8SGL-F
It's the Wife's new rig.

edit: here - A brother for Deux?

Welcome to the wonderful world of quad channel.

As more and more peeps are finding out its just plain easier to go for a sealed water unit than "bother" with air towers. Just look at the socket 2011 mobos for proof. ;)
