What is the latest news?

[networksports]

I'm a system builder in my spare time. Last build was about 8 mos ago, simple AM3, DDR3, decent Nvidia graphics card set up, nothing special. Tried to read up on the new FM chips. Are they the new path or is this an offshoot for a special need? Any news is welcome. Thx friends. Mark

As the article states llano is entry level, socket fm1. It is a branch off and not compatible with bulldozer which will be am3+. They are less powerful than current phenoms but the integrated graphics are the best out right now. So this is best for htpcs and especially laptops.
