am1 > am3

[Mr.Reggin]

can someone tell me why there are am1 its mobos with 4xS-ATA 6Gb, but no am3 mobos with S-ATA 6Gb? I assume am3 is much newer than am1, cuz the am3 cpu's are better either

[NeatSquidYT]

Am1 is pretty new I think, but AM3 is really old.

 

AFAIK anyway

yes

 

AM3+ is 3 years old, AM3 is 6 years

[NeatSquidYT]

yes

Yay I'm right Who says 5 months of computer knowledge didn't help anyone? Nobody, because it's usually not relevant to the conversation they're having.

[Priller]

If you're talking AM3 then that is what was available at that time. AM3+ boards all are Sata 6 and even support sata 6 eSata.

[Rheinwasser]

am3+ is very old, am1 isnt.

but you can't really compare them, they are targeted towards very different user groups.

 

and am3+ supports sata6g.

am3 =/= am3+ 

 

AM3 is for the old phenoms

sorry, misread. but yeah, i know that 

[Mr.Reggin]

fm2+ is the only good socket that amd has in my opinion, it has pcie 3.0 x16 (one lane usually), the am1 is good for just doing light stuff, but it doesnt have that fast cpu's. And fm2+ should have cpu'S like fx 8370 too and not the shiti am3+ socket. Is AMD trolling?

[H4X3R]

am1 has many sata3 in comparison to am3

[Mr.Reggin]

am1 has many sata3 in comparison to am3

am3 has only 3Gb as far as I know

[H4X3R]

Put an am3 in an am3+ mobo and you'll have sata3 (more expensive though).

yea, we put an athlon 760k on a FM2+ mobo, just cuz i wanted the pc to have 6Gb/s cuz we want the max. SSD speed. The only thing that doesnt work there is, thart with a non-fm2+ CPU, you have the PCie 3.0 x16 lane running in 2.0 mode

doesnt really matter

PCIe 2.0 x16 (or x8) -- i.e. PCIe 3.0 x8 (or x4) won't bottleneck any modern day card (or even two); a 760k will be an issue long before PCIe bandwidth is.

I know, I just wanted to say that it is like that

[DirkW]

[...] you have the PCie 3.0 x16 lane running in 2.0 mode

 

Sorry, but please try to not mix up words like that. The whole PCIe lanes topic is confusing enough for many people. You're talking about a slot, not a lane. In that one x16 slot, there are up to sixteen lanes.

Socket AM3 came out in 2009.

Socket AM3+ was released in late 2010 / early 2011.

FM2+ was released this year.

 

FM2+ came out 3 / 4 years AFTER socket AM3+.

 

am3 has only 3Gb as far as I know

 

My old socket AM3 ASUS Crosshair IV Formula (890FX chipset) motherboard had 6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports -- directly from the SB850 South Bridge chipset.

Are you trollin' ?

[Opcode]

AM1 is a far newer socket than AM3. It was first derived when AMD decided to make Kabini available for the desktop. It's actually so much newer that SATA is built right into the SoC (north bridge was moved to the CPU with FM2).

 

APU's while not being as powerful as a FX in serial computing, will walk circles around multiple counts of them once you leverage GPGPU. The APU platform is simply miles ahead of AMD's aging 900 series based machines.

Too bad hardly any normal apps these days even leverage GPGPU.  And anyone utilizing GPGPU will have a real graphics card for it.

It's hard to leverage HSA when discrete cards are unsupported at this time. And there are dozen of applications that leverage GPGPU. LibreOffice was one of the first and it's performance is unparalleled compared to what it was like with just traditional serial computing.
