I am not aware of other models. I think the ASB1 parts were the last
updates of that CPU family. Those Athlon/Turion Neo CPUs are on the
market for quite some time now. I've encountered that problem because
I have such a CPU in my Laptop.

Unfortunately on K8 socket type information is not provided with CPUID
like its done for family 0x10. Thus the socket type must be derived
from the CPU revision and information contained in the CPU revision
guide.

I think (hope) that this list needs no update anymore.


Thanks,
