"The biggest potential win for AMD would have been a successful
AM3+ motherboard launch, but they still were not able to move up that
particular product. If AMD had been able to come out swinging with
this new socket, and new motherboards designed around it, we could
very well have seen a much more significant boost to AMD. While there
are no Bulldozer nor Llano based chips available, AM3+ boards do
support current AM3 processors. Releasing the high end 990FX and
budget 970 boards, neither of which utilize the integrated graphics of
Llano, and populating them with current Phenom II and Athlon II CPUs
could have provided a nice impetus to AMD and given the company a
marketplace more prepared for the new CPUs to arrive later this
Spring."
