Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has recently indicated that its new K8L processor for its next-generation Socket AM3 platform will not be available until 2008, according to sources at Taiwan-based motherboard makers.

AMD's K8L series is expected to be compatible with Socket AM2-based motherboards by adding both DDR2 and DDR3 memory controllers, according to the sources.

No suprise there, recent roadmaps clearly stated the same.

AMD has nothing but price and maybe really good OC cpu's when their 0.65nm CPU's in 2007 comes out, to compete aginst.
