AM3 boards overclock better

Compared to AM2+

We just recieved some good news for AMD fans. The new AM3 motherboards coupled with the new AM3 CPUs will overclock better than older, DDR2 based AM2+ boards.

We don’t have percentage figures but someone who is working hard to launch its boards in early February, 9th is the date so far, has told us that they've seen some better overclocking on the new AM3 platform.

The clock to clock performance of AM3 boards versus AM2+ DDR2 platforms is still not great, but there will be new bioses that will make things better. Since many AMD fans going for Quad and three core 45nm AM3 CPUs will be into overclocking, once you overclock - the AM3 platform wins.

These CPUs will also be very affordable and Intel will have some real difficulty in fighting for mainstream space...
