Now I've heard that AMD will reveal its new CPU line called Bulldozer. Now my computer's motherboard got fried and I was forced to buy a new one. So I bought a PC with Phenom II X6 1035T and I will upgrade it to 1100T unless the Bulldozer will be compatible to AM3 socket. So is it?
I'm pretty sure Bulldozer won't be compatible with existing AMD mobos since it is (supposedly) entirely new technology.
I've been told no. you'd be happy with the 1100t or the 1090t for awhile. The bulldozers haven't hit the market yet, and I would let them test them before jumping onboard anyways. I have the 1100t and the 1090t, and they are basically the same chip. save the extra 30- 40.00 and get the 1090t. they both rate the same, overclocking is almost identical.
it states backwards compatability with AM3 socket with bios upgrade(if motherboard manufacturers choose to update bios for this) I guess we will just have to take a &wait and see&attitude I hope for the sake of people that did buy AM3 socket boards that this is true It wouldnt be beyond AMD to do this as they have a history of making CPU's backwards compatable its one of the endearing qualities of buying AMD cpu's as opposed to Intel
