Confirming the compatibility of AMD processors with Socket AM3 Bulldozer

Over the past several months have followed news about the compatibility of the new AMD Socket AM3 Bulldozer with the old, as we have seen in previous news houses prodruttrici motherboards have confirmed compatibility with the update of the bios of some products and AMD recently confirmed that the new processor will be compatible.

The Bulldozer CPU was not compatible because of an extra pin that made it unusable on mechanically Socket AM3, AMD to address the problem at least temporarily eliminated the pin for the first series of CPUs in order to extend the compatibility, this pin very probably will serve to abvilitare new features like the Core 2 Turbo and additional features to save energy and certainly will be reinstated with the next generation.
