AMD Socket AM2 Processors Revealed

According to The Inquirer, the upcoming DDR2 940-pin processors from AMD are appropriately called "Socket AM2" processors, not "M2". [source: AMDZone]

The new Socket AM2 is being occupied by three cores: Manilla, Orelans and Windsor. Manilla is the codename for new Sempr0ns, Orleans is the name for single-core AM2 offerings, while cream of the crop, dual-cores will come under the Windsor name. [The Inquirer]

These are the processors to be released 2Q 2006:

Windsor
AMD Athlon 64 FX-62
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+

Orleans
AMD Athlon 64 4000+
AMD Athlon 64 3800+
AMD Athlon 64 3500+

Manilla
Sempr0n 3600+
Sempr0n 3500+
Sempr0n 3400+
Sempr0n 3200+
Sempr0n 3000+

I sure hope that the 940-pin Semprons will still have the same affordability that the 754 Semprons had (or still has, I mean).
