CoolTechZone has some fresh info in regards to AMD and Intel's upcoming processors and chipsets. On the AMD side of things, it looks like Socket 754 fun is finally coming to an end:
There is dreadful news for Socket 754 owners; AMD is going to end the production of Athlon 754's with its 3500+ microprocessor. You can expect to see 754 chips off the roadmap by the end of this year. For those looking to upgrade to a Socket 939 chip, AMD is expecting to launch their FX57 chip sometime mid-2005. The support for higher clocked Socket 939 chips and FX chips is on a positive outlook and AMD may even launch a FX59 this year. AMD also has no plans to break the 4GHz barrier, but they will most hit the 3GHz this year.
