In a very difficult situation in 2006, AMD announced the socket for installing the AM2 CPU. The processors for sockets 754 and 939 at that time completely exhausted themselves and could not show an adequate level of performance. As a result, it was necessary to offer something new with higher speed for a worthy answer to the eternal competitor in the person of Intel Corporation.
How and why did this computing platform appear?
In 2006, sales of a new type of RAM, called DDR2, started on the personal computer market. AMD connectors at that time for installing CPU 754 and 939 from AMD were oriented towards using the outdated, but the most common type of RAM - DDR.

Significant in 2006 for the world of computer technology was the output of the socket for installing the AM2 CPU. The processors in this case received a very substantial increase in speed and made it possible to solve more complex problems. But now products based on this platform are outdated, and it is not recommended to consider them as the basis for assembling a new system unit.
