Anyone got any idea? Fudzilla says all is well, but elsewhere there are rumours of delays.
I'm hoping for pre-October release, I can wait much beyond that!

I'm wondering if AMD is entirely abandoning the FM1 socket for FM2 or if we'll see some later, newer FM1 parts.

That would be nice wouldn't it? If so, I'd jump on Llano now.

Well, my main interest is ensuring my box can decode next gen h.265/HEVC video, I think the current FM1 offerings will cover that. Hopefully my A6-3500 will be enough but something in the A8 family should do the job if the A6 doesn't. However the A8's are only going to go so high on FM1.
AMD however has a history of long life on their sockets, like the AM2/AM3 ones, so maybe we'll see some 'back ports' of Trinity chips. I guess time will tell.
