Talk:Socket 939

message: :Although it does not support DDR2 memory, the combination of various Socket 939 motherboards and Athlon 64/Athlon 64 FX CPUs has been repeatedly shown to either match or outstrip Intel's offerings in performance per dollar ratios when it comes to content creation and gaming. In business applications and multimedia, Intel continues to hold a slight advantage.
Although this is conventional wisdom, there is no actual reference for any of this. As such, I'm removing it from the article. Themindset 19:27, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Hmm... The "key features" chapter says things like
Eight new 64-bit integer registers, for a total of sixteen. Is this really relevant for the socket? I think that's a CPU feature. The socket does not have anything to do with the registers, and the motherboard can't even detect whether they exist (besides trying to run a program in the CPU, of course).

message: Are Socket 939 A64s really as hard to find as the article says? I'm asking because I just bought a new Socket 939 3400+ with motherboard and memory from a reputable online vendor for a decent price. This really needs to be sourced, and it should indicate which models are affected. -lee 23:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And upon reading it again, I see the part about dual-core processors. D'oh. Still, though, eBay isn't exactly the best of sources for this sort of thing. -lee 23:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the whole statement could be removed, I agree that the claim and whole eBay mention has no place.  Anyways, this article is not about the X2; this claim about 939 X2s being hard to find should be in the X2 article, not here. The hardcore icon the sandman 03:59, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To add to the fun, I checked Newegg a few days ago and they still had Socket 939 X2s in stock, with no indication they were going to run out any time soon. That whole block of text can go. -lee 04:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The Athlon 64 X2 4800+ model was the highest speed processor available in the Socket 939 package.
It actually looks like the Athlon FX-60 is the fastest processor available for Socket 939, but I'm no expert. Should this be changed? PenguiN42 (talk) 18:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, so I went ahead and changed it. The Opteron 185 is almost identical to the FX-60, though (lacking only the unlocked multiplier), and in terms of clockspeed the single-core FX-57 had the edge, so talking about which is fastest is a little ambiguous - so I reworked the section a bit to clear things up. Previously, it seemed to contradict itself... 82.44.114.217 (talk) 06:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is nonsense. I'm currently running an Athlon 64 X2 5400+ Black Edition, which has a clockspeed of 2.8 ghz, in a Socket 939 board, and I'm pretty certain that chips with even higher clockspeeds were available. I'm going to do some research and fix the article accordingly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.48.193 (talk) 00:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  There was never a 939 processor that used the "Black Edition" moniker. The 5400+ is an AM2 processor, not a 939. The absolute fastest dual core Athlon 64 for the 939 socket was the Toledo 4800+ (2.8 GHz). The fastest single core Athlon 64 for the 939 socket was the Opteron 156 (3.0 GHz) .24.28.0.28 (talk) 04:37, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  The 4800+ is a 2.4Ghz dual-core part - equivalent to an Opteron 180. Both the Opteron 185 and the FX-60 are faster than that at 2.6Ghz, but (as stated in the article) the Opteron 190 is the fastest dual-core at 2.8Ghz. Good luck finding one though - I am aware of 3-5 in existence 93.97.208.57 (talk) 13:17, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

message: While it is possible that some people have referred to Socket 939 as Socket AM1, this should probably be discouraged given that in 2014 AMD branded socket FS1b as Socket AM1. Ballatsea (talk) 05:15, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
