The Reg has found photos of the upcoming Opteron socket on the web, & has been nice enough to share them with us. Looks a lot like the LGA that Intel's currently using, don't it?

"AMD's plan for Socket F emerged in May 2005, but little has been heard about it since. Most roadmap leaks have focused on Socket M and the desktop side of the story. Today's pictures at least indicate that the server interconnect beast may be real."
