According to Digitimes, AMD plans to launch a series of 940-pin Socket M2 CPUs – dual-core Windsor and the single-core Orleans and Manila processors – in 2Q'06. The Windsor and Orleans lines will integrate AMD’s “Pacifica” virtualization technology, and DDR2 demand is expected to grow in Q1'06 as Socket-M2 processors launch. No word yet on what level of power the 940-pin Socket M2 processors will consume, or thermal design guidelines. It is expected that AMD will continue to use the existing heatsink formfactor...
Any companies currently working on Socket-M2 processor thermal designs are invited to share the TDP details with FrostyTech.
