Anand produce AM2 performance chart

As compared with 939

An interesting read and you can see for yourself that the performance increase is not as much as hoped.

With Intels Conroe around the corner and only slight increases from 939 then it may be a dissapointing next socket for AMD.

We will wait until AM2 is released to see if AMD can pull some more performance out of AM2
