Sources close to Advanced Micro Devices unveiled some of the company’s plans concerning next year desktop central processing unit products. As anticipated, the company will continue to use Socket 754 and 940 form-factors till some point, but will also bring 939-pin 64-bit processors with faster bus.
As noted officially, AMD will utilize 6 cores for its microprocessors next year. AMD will produce CPUs in various packages using the same cores, therefore, there will be no strict correlation between a core and a type of packaging. Moreover, currently there is no severe correlation between speed-bins and cores at this point. According to our sources, there will be following processor types next year:

- ClawHammer 940-pin – 1MB L2 cache, dual-channel memory controller, made at 0.13 micron SOI nodes.
- ClawHammer 939-pin – 1MB L2 cache, dual-channel memory controller, Cool’n’Quiet technology, made at 0.13 micron SOI nodes.
- Newcastle 939-pin – 512KB L2 cache, dual-channel memory controller, Cool’n’Quiet technology, made at 0.13 micron SOI nodes.
- Winchester 939-pin – 512KB L2 cache, dual-channel memory controller, Cool’n’Quiet technology, made at 90nm SOI nodes.
- San Diego 939-pin – 1MB L2 cache, dual-channel memory controller, Cool’n’Quiet technology, made at 90nm SOI nodes.

Wi-Fi radiates an Internet connection that multiple computers within 300 feet can share at fast speeds. Wi-Fi hot spots have cropped up over the last couple of years in coffee shops, hotels and airports in bigger U.S. cities.
Some small towns, including Half Moon Bay, Calif., and Athens, Ga., have started experimenting with Wi-Fi as a way to provide relatively cheap, easy access to high-speed Internet.
The 51,000 residents of Cerritos, located 26 miles southeast of Los Angeles, have not had DSL broadband access to the Internet because the city is too far from the telephone company's central office. Cable Internet access has not been an option, either, Hylton said.
Residents in Cerritos have asked city officials to find a way to bring broadband to the city for some time.
"We're pleased that our residents will at last have an option for broadband that will be more affordable than is currently available," Hylton said.
lets just hope they keep ahead of intel and increase popularity
