AMD has finally unveiled its "next-generation" Opterons for Socket F. Like existing Socket AM2 Athlon 64 chips, the Socket F Opterons support DDR2 memory and hardware virtualization features known as AMD-V. The processors slip into a new land grid array-style socket called Socket F. This new socket increases pin count from the previous 940 pins to a massive 1,207 pins.
