I just have a few questions. Although I am really tempted to buy the AM2+ Phenom II when it comes out since I can't wait much longer, I'm curious to know if there are any significant advantages to the AM3 Phenom II. I've searched, haven't really found much and I am curious to know what other people have heard.
Aside from the use of DDR3 memory, will AM3 boards support features like dynamic CPU voltage and frequency or separate power planes for each core? Will AM3 boards include any other other power-saving features as standard on all boards? If AM3 can offer something along these lines (or something else if someone mentions something cool that they know AM3 will have), I might be willing to take a dive and pay a little extra for DDR3 in February (prices will have dropped for DDR3 by then too, so maybe it won't be too bad).
Secondly, are there any features specific to AM3 Phenom IIs that give them an advantage over the AM2+ Phenom IIs when both are used on an AM2+ board with DDR2 memory?
Anyways, help me out!
