Over at [H]ardOCP the guys have a look at the new reference designs that AMD has released for the Hammer line of chips.
Remember that what you are seeing here is designed for OEM usage and not the high performance-seeking overclocker. So no copper or BAFs present. "BAFs" otherwise known as "Big Ass Fans" for you guys not in the loop.
It is an interesting design that is very similiar to the Alphas that so many of us use now. Its also worth noting that AMD is now making it a design stipulation to add an EM shield.
I'll let the guys over at [H] tell ya more (http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MzAx)
