As the title suggests a report in Dailytech reveal AMDs plans for a new socket which will herald the start of DDR3 and 8-12 core processors! More info' is here:
DailyTech - Hello AMD Socket G34

The only thing is though, software is only 'just' starting to utilise two cores let alone 12...Thoughts anyone?
