In 2004, AMD immediately introduced 2 platforms for creating computer systems - Socket 754 and Socket 939. The difference between them was that the first had only a single-channel memory controller, and the second had a dual-channel. Also, the second type of processor socket made it possible to install dual-core CPU models. It is about the capabilities and characteristics of the latter that will be discussed later.

The launch of Socket 939 was a landmark for 2004-2006. This platform predetermined the development of AMD semiconductor products for many years. Even its current processor socket "Socket AM3 +" is based on those developments that were then made. Only at the end of 2016, these developments should be replaced by a new architecture, which received the code name “Zen”.
